If I am dealing 40 homes netting $200 a door I will never have the time to focus on my income growth.  

The man next door seems to be mentally ill (lives by himself and very hostile) has trash, debris, furniture, animal feces, and stray cats all over his yard.

It divides the taxes up among the doors (property, not buildings are taxed) and increases cash flow and makes rent more competitive. 

Our current home was on the market in 2005 for $450k (3Br/1.5Ba ranch, full unfinished basement with Bilco doors, on 3/4 acre next to a golf course), languished & pulled off market before we had a chance to see inside.

Get HML, buy house, rehab, pay the taxes, gain experience.I'd want to use the profit as downpayment on a multiplex with atleast four doors, so having the cash in my bank account isn't necessary.

I am adding walls and doors to make them 3-1's This will raise the rent some.

Some will tell you that you need to be "All In" to make it work which I believe is sound advice if you have no responsibilities and plenty of time to door knock, hold open houses; pretty much put your feet on the street. 

Bought my first rental in 2010, got my real estate license in 2013 and bought a property management company in late 2015This is when my life changed and I became exponentially happier.I don’t punch a time clock and I’ll never go back.Since 2015, we have been hovering at around 115-130 doors that we manage for investors, as well as my personal units.Between last year and now, I have personally acquired an additional 10 doors through bank financing and owner financing.Through partnerships I’ve put together a few deals and have a 17 others (two duplexes, one 12 unit apartment, and one condo) .I love the podcast and this community of investors.Thanks,Dave Fulkerson
