Let me put in perspective I am young Hispanic kid who grow up in the worst neighborhoods you could ever imagine.

I’d like to share our plan with you and see how we can both grow our companies and achieve our goals!

Plus it's always great to see the Cleveland community on here growing.

After all, I enjoy getting checks monthly - but it would nice to cash in a fat check once in while too.Question 2 - Networking is key to finding good deals - MLS can have some good deals periodically - but the best deals are going to come from a distressed situation that you find out about through word of mouth - and that means staying in front of your network and growing it so that you are exposed to new situations and opportunities.

Currently my idea is to find a small multi unit (duplex tri or quad) to buy with an FHA, live in one and rent out the others until I can pay down the mortgage enough to create a cash flow large enough to live on and be able to go into real estate full time and then grow from there. 

I'm listening to the BP podcasts daily, reading everything I can on the forums, researching terms I don't understand, reading a rental property book, looking into getting my real estate license (even if it just helps me to buy my first property) and I had already read Think and Grow Rich twice last summer.

We currently manage a little over 300 units and are hoping to grow that to 500 this year, with ownership in a little over a 1/3 of the properties.  

You can worry about transferring to LLC and having a CPA later as your portfolio grows.

I have been investing in San Antonio since 2007 and it continues to be a fast-growing market.

@Fred Dray My Current situation is we are a property investment company managing it's own portfolio.We outsource most maintenance jobs to individuals.The management arm has been overlooked by me and the Managing Director when he is available.However my big weakness is that as the company is growing bigger I need to build a strong team and I would like to digitize my management(been mostly old school) so as to provide concise reports for company management.Therefore, I have no idea how to go about it as I've been mostly conducting things myself over the years.Please assist on how to go about this...
