If you hang around here long enough, you will find:People saying that single family rentals are not profitable, despite the fact that there are boatloads of people here who have made their wealth that way;People saying that too much rapid growth is wrong, despite the fact that there are plenty of examples of people who have become multi-millionaires by rapid ramp-up;People saying that slow growth is a losing proposition, despite the fact that many of the slow-growthers held their portfolios during the last downturn by being in all/mostly cash, while everyone else went broke;ETCIn other words, for every strategy, there is going to be a contrarian on this board that will claim that it doesn't work.

Hi Bigger Pockets FamilyMy name is Isaac, a mechanical Engineer by trade in the Grand Rapids MI Region, I'm looking to start building my portfolio in real estate but looking for the best strategic for a young investor standpoint.

I don't think most sellers or investors are aware of the rapid changes.

This constant focus of newbies on rapid scaling and unreasonably cheap furnishings fixtures and equipment are no guarantee of success.

I see that you are interested in investing in Grand Rapids and St.

Thank you for your rapid response.  

I am a musician out of The Colony and I'm just getting into hard research, reading, and scanning properties.

Some apps have added features like integrated bank feeds, automated rent collection, and smart scan, which allows you to digitize receipts (by taking a photo of them).

Cocoa, Fl has been growing quite rapidly over the last 10-15 years.

Would you recommend I use the VA or physician loan on my rapidly approaching move?
