. $200 before utilitiesI ended up using a portfolio lender for this property, as I could not get approved for a conventional loan, due to a 12 month sabbatical I took to travel the world.

Each property would still have to be appraised separately, unless they have a special way of appraising a portfolio of homes. 

We are trying to build our portfolio but are finding it hard in this market.  

But from a perspective of growing my portfolio, at what point do you cash out to redeploy? 

Going through the list enabled me to see what properties they own one by one, and create a document that contain all of the properties in their portfolio. 

Three persons want to invest together and start a buy and hold portfolio.

But a TK “provider” will typically set up their business model to match an investor up with a property/situation that meets their specific investing objectives (whether from their own portfolio of renovated buildings or network of trusted colleagues). 

Moving on, shelve your portfolio for a year and then revisit.

I am going through the steps to understand real estate investing better and want to get things heading in the right direction as i start investing in more rentals to grow my portfolio, one recommendation i have read and been told is to put my properties in a LLC and maybe even grab a holding company from Wyoming for protection down the road.

Of course it really depends, but I think the BRRRR method is the best way to go about acquiring a rental portfolio, especially if you have a private money lender.
