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.  

The more sources of residuals you have, the more stable your income portfolio is.The more stable it is, the more likely you are to get financing, specifically because you have income coming in from many sources.

Look into buying your primary residence at every base you PCS to throughout your career; it's a great way to build a portfolio, especially with your VA loan.

This is our first venture into landlording, and as a long-time Big-Pockets listener (this is only my 2nd post), we are hoping to use it as a springboard into the start of a long-term investment portfolio.

At that point I will look for more creative solutions to continue growing my portfolio. 

Someday being in the future when my kids are a bit older, as part of my retirement portfolio, small being SFHs or duplexes.  

who are helping our members grow their portfolios (including me ^^)I've had personal talks with both @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner to help give me direction on how to grow this meetup, so it's not just advice on real estate investment that we've received, but also guidance on how to increase the reach of our networks.

I currently have one single family home in AZ that I bought a while ago (right after college before I knew it was a good investment) and I would like to do a 1031 into a larger multifam in LA and eventually grow that portfolio.

I'm much more comfortable with Buying and Holding, building my asset portfolio.  

Before I started using BP I didn't even know Turn Key companies existed but once I found out about them, I initially though it was the way I was going to build my portfolio.
