I help busy people build cash flow portfolio so they do not have to work so hard.

But part of this game is following the Pareto Principle and building in a margin of safety for the big-ticket items. 

This is a great step to learn and start growing your portfolio. 

And Honestly no one said that This Real Estate Game was Easy, i had my fair share of struggles, still struggling a bit now but im not giving up, you shouldn't either, just know you aren't the 1st nor will be the last that starts to struggle in their RE Venture.

I want good cash flow so I can (relatively) quickly build up my portfolio and stop selling my time for money, so multifamily sounds like an effective way to get good cash flow but it also seems like it's harder to find a good deal. 

It is important that investors hear from actual investors like yourself who have built portfolios and can talk the good, bad, successful and ugly. 

I'm a motivated but inexperienced investor looking to expand my portfolio and begin a mutually beneficial relationship with an experienced agent that has the time/patience to invest in me.

For the $7500 as long as you still have adequate time building your brand and networking then self manage but I think you can grow your portfolio faster by hiring a mgmt company and focus on acquiring new deals and raising capital for them. 

My portfolio and the way I have structured it are resilient.

Youtube commentators say that kind of thing to people who mess up their favorite video game.
