We are beginning to develop our portfolio so we are open to advice on how everything should look on paper, types of loans, putting current home as biz asset?

My ultimate goal is to buy and hold rental units and continue to increase my portfolio over time resulting in an impressive real estate empire i can pass down to my children.

I would like to scale my portfolio however, I need more CAPITAL!

If your goal is to own 10 properties why don't you use the refi cash to purchase a 3 to 4 unit in your area or surrounding area and that will cash flow to help you grow your portfolio.

I actually saw that one coming, watching closely a forum called "the housing bubble blog", sold my entire rental portfolio in 2007 doubling my initial investment.

I'm a 23 year old realtor based in Saint George, UT, and have been doing research on investing for about the last year now looking for the best way to jump into the game of real estate investing, and I'm anxious to get started.I'm torn with what my first move is going to be..

Hi BP Members,I have a portfolio of rentals in the Bay Area, primarily in the Alameda County, and I have recently picked up 2 properties in contra costa.

Anyone knows of a porfolio lender that can do a cashout refi for 80-85% ltv??

If you are just looking to add a couple of properties to your portfolio and stop there, scalability won't matter to you. 

So, if you haven't, I'd highly recommend you learn more about business fundamentals to significantly enchance your game plan.
