Hello all,I wanted to get some opinions on this, was at a meetup tonight playing cashflow game with others and I mentioned to someone how I've had such difficulties after loan 5, that I was thinking of buying my property with cash vs paying off one of my current loans, because they have 3%ish interest rates.... guy at my table mentioned that it would be smarter for me to invest time in calculating my perfect deduction amount and purchase the next property with that exact amount.

Come up with a game plan, find a way to generate leads weather that be driving for dollars, buying lead list, direct mailing etc. then take action.

Looking for different strategies on how to leverage the house I own/cash I have to build out my portfolio.

Purchase price: $720,000 Cash invested: $144,000 Purchased a portfolio that consisted of one 3/3, one 3/2, two 1/1, one studio.

Question is, what if i want to purchase a property for my own portfolio while acting as an agent (i.e. i would be principal AND agent representing myself).  

I'm a little late to the game, but a friend of ours is a lender in Greenville.

Over the next couple of years I want to start building my portfolio and eventually get my realtors license similarly to what David Greene has been doing.

I would suggest building your initial portfolio with Single Family Homes and as your comfort level increases then move into multifamily. 

So I wanted to take this opportunity to potentially build a relationship with a local credit union or regional bank who also provides portfolio lending options. 

I am in the process of educating myself in the “real estate investing game”.
