Here are some ideas… 1) Where did you grow up?

I am looking to connect with those out there that would like to learn and grow together and know that their visions can only become reality through the use of a strong real estate network. 

I'm having a hard time determining the possible outcomes and the return I can expect on each one of them.I have a small SFR portfolio and I am in a place right now where I can acquire a decent number of properties to grow my portfolio.

The money is a little more expensive than a bank, but then again this will allow you to grow and grow with you.

I am posting my struggles here because Multi-Family is my primary interest and I own 4 units (2 student housing duplexes) and want to grow my portfolio.  

For example the way I see Real Estate Investing, is 1) set an income target, 2) calculate how much real estate units you will have to own free and clear in order to reach that target 3) Grow as fast as possible to that point by leveraging and maximizing your ROI (thats where your calculations will show you that 30year mortgages are better) and then 4) start the pay down process (this is where your interest savings will occur like using a 15 year mortgage)I hope I helped

Things might be highly improbable but nothing is impossible, unless it goes against the laws of natural sciences, like pigs growing wings and flying. :)

I'm trying to grow my network, but have a Realtor I could work with in my endeavor.

You also need a 'reasonable' excuse to move out, either family growing, or getting a job at a different location, forcing you to move. 

My Realtors all tell me they believe the prices will stay and even grow so it's a tough call.
