I ask if they are an investor looking to add to their portfolio or if they are interested in selling for the right offer.

Are you trying to wholesale, find properties to build your own portfolio?  

My other option is to keep my full time job and build my portfolio on the side until I can replace my employment income.

There's a lot of excellent information on here, and everyone seems to be eager to share their experiences.I'm new to REI, but very eager to build an out of state rental portfolio (out of state because I'm priced out of Cali). 

I'm starting small, but my ultimate goal is to grow a rental portfolio through the course of my professional career.

After I had made the decision to start building my portfolio with out of state rentals, I researched heavily and now I'm here in Columbus.  

I'm a new investor, primarily working on building a multifamily buy-and-hold portfolio, but also working towards getting involved in wholesaling and flipping.  

This means that they have overextended their ability to compete and market into the wave.Don't get me wrong, this method can be a small portion of your portfolio and you’ll be able to brush it off—but if it’s a large part of your plan, it could easily end in catastrophe.

You can search the topic of HELOC or conventional financing or portfolio loans and get a ton of information.BP was very helpful in answering a lot of questions for me and others that were looking for HELOCs at the time.
