Have a couple of anchor tenants will to put there stores in (i.e...hibbets, gnc, subway as of now).

An Irish couple in their 60s investing just to take nice vacations and earn an extra $3K/mo.Point is, the 50-100 goal is certainly achievable from where you're starting, but you'll need to be aggressive depending on your timeline to reach that many units if you go one by one.I highly suggest one by one instead of buying an existing portfolio unless you can really learn all about the portfolio and avoid overpaying for it.

I have experience with rental properties in the bay area, but this will be my first out of state investment.I have a couple of questions for those experience with having tenants:1) For now I plan to self-manage my units.  

In the next few years, I hope to be able to start investing in real estate (buy and hold, multis), and in the next couple of year I will probably be purchasing a new personal residence.

I have a couple of questions if the lovely people at BP could help me as I am a NEWBIE. 1.

Don't have much of a buyers list yet.Just started doing marketing in my area (bandit signs, Internet adds).I'm scheduled to attend my first REIA meeting in a couple of days (very excited about that).
