And then shared that most people don't understand how much work it really takes to build up a portfolio.

My business partner and I have been coming across off-market deals and have a flip opportunity in Gresham and a lot in SE Portland for a new build.

Already determined:Sell price Buyer pays all fees, no appraisal etc.What they are now asking (opposite from original post):86% downSeller Finance remaining 14% over 6 years with interest only payments first 3 years and interest plus $1000 last 3 years.

My background is in building, with a degree from TAMU in Construction Science, and I'm currently a project manager overseeing new construction and remodeling of high end custom homes in Houston.

I am looking at MFH opportunity in San Francisco... everything looks great except for the fact that there are 2 protected tenants in the building...

I've progressed from owning fixer upper duplexes in the north end of Winnipeg where I would do the renos myself late into the night; to purchasing large apartment buildings to acquiring properties in 13 different cities across Canada and the United States. to now buying office buildings and institutional-grade grocery-anchored retail centers leased to national tenants and publicly traded companies like Walmart, Safeway, and Loblaws.Before 27, I achieved lean FIRE, all thanks to the inspiration and fundamental concepts from the BP podcast and the incredible people I've met along the way in this entrepreneurial journey by betting on myself, committing to lifelong learning, and nurturing an insatiable curiosity.If someone like me, who barely made it through high school and would be considered "unlikely to succeed" by my peers, can do it, so can anyone reading this.

I've done this 4 times and it has worked out great to build my rental portfolio.

Information and exposure has been increased radically in the last 10 years, and hence those killer deals don’t seem to be there anymore.Fortunately for me, I had the good fortune to know and learn from the (imo) absolutely most knowledgeable, innovative, and talented note investor teacher back 40 some odd years ago.  

I'm in Gilberts and I work with a lot of local investors in Chicagoland, both with getting started/house hacking, and also building up to their first 10 properties creating their REI empire.

I'm trying to build my team while i study more into REI.
