A lot of people don’t realize this, but in addition to real estate agents selling stuff, they are also being sold, every brokerage, every title company, even lenders, have courses on literally scripts, how to build out your social media, how to find fsbo listings etc, truth is none of these are effective, pretty much the only way to be a successful agent is either ton of ad spend or the hard work of meeting people in person through events meetups etc, but brokerages make money by head count, even title and lenders are happy if you close a few deals a year with them, so they sell this stuff to agents who than use those scripts on you, it’s a whole prymond scheme lol

The easier way is to establish a relationship with a portfolio bank (commercial lending) no limit to the number of houses you can own.Better yet, do something like what I do: I don't use banks at allAverage Cash Flow Per Door In Phoenix Metro Areahttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/600/topics/58...

Definitely another great way to build wealth & you will meet many others that are on the same path. 

Im looking to do fixer uppers because I did it in the past in Virginia & I want to build more capital now so I can invest into rentals/new construction later.

Jane - Great questions.Regarding the U - They recently broke ground for another new building - I think they will be around for awhile.

But there has always been both a conventional and FHA product that allows an investor to buy a building of 4 units or less with advantageous primary residence financing. 

Any business will take time to build and achieve consistency.

We are only putting 5% down with conventional.And what are some ways we can continue to build our portfolio in RE?

But the other half of the puzzle is building wealth.
