I personally think partnering is critical in this industry, if you're looking to grow/scale. 

I think my slow and steady approach for the first 2 years will allow much more rapid expansion in the 2 years ahead!

This first deal is something I need so I can invest more in my business and get apps like dealmaker or REIpro so grow.

Dear BP members,I'd like to start small European community here on BP.I spent whole my adult life in investment world building investment firms from scratch and growing them.

Thx it’s in a rural area but is close to a community collage that has the general area growing at a nice pace.

But both were rehabbed and in growing areas, so I sold (1031) both at huge profits.

. $70 x 3 =$270 per month cash flow. paid off house grows to $134000 @ 3% compounded annually for 10 years. 3 houses worth = $402000. $80000 mortgage paydown to $65000 x 3 = $195000= $207000 equity. 1 house @ 3% rent raise =$1344. 3 houses =$4032- $1290 payments =$2742 per month cash flow. 

Depending on your want to grow your cash flow quickly, I would look into the BRRRR strategy in Bakersfield as well because you can fix the property, then get good cash flow and refi to get the next property.  

A’s which I'm a big fan of round out # 3My base as stated before has and will always be RE but as my tree grows bigger, I'll be able to spread my funds across different branches and just watch this thing grow.BP as a whole is so awesome in regards to the different mind sets and types of investors.

Income is growing.
