It's my time to shine

[Jason Deveau]

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to own multiple properties, but thought it was beyond me and for other people given ideal circumstances (ie. born into it, rich parents, handed down from family, etc).  Thanks to the Bigger Pockets podcast and other real estate podcasts I have learned this to be false, I am more than capable, and I am now ready to take on investing.

Welcome, Jason. I wouldn't focus on the number of properties but on the profitability of each one. Better to own fewer but better properties with less vacancy and more appreciation that 50 midwest crapboxes that with maintenance and vacancy barely break even. Good luck to you.
