Bought my first investment property, I want to scale my portfolio

[Rafael Carvajal Jr]

Greetings BP Community,

I purchased a duplex with a VA loan in the beginning of this year. I am currently renting one unit while I live in the other one. I have a W-2 job, what are strategies or options that I can use to invest more aggressively since I am just starting out to grow my real estate portfolio?

Hey Rafael, 

I would recommend finding a partner! You would be able to pool your funds together while also mitigating your risk. Forming a team with a local contractor, lender, and someone who can find you deals will explode your business. Network, network, network!!

Hope this helps.

Best of luck!

Matt
