I've invested since 2008, and after building my personal portfolio to a solid place have decided to focus my team on helping others do the same.  

If you’re not systemized, this expense balloons.When you add it up, a single turnover can quietly cost $4,000 to $7,000.Most landlords don’t even realize they burned a year of “cash flow” replacing a tenant.Here’s how we eliminate turnover across our Section 8 portfolio:1.

Is it smart to partner up with someone else, whether its seller financing or otherwise, to provide capital for the property with someone who does not have a portfolio yet?

Over the past several years, I’ve managed and grown a portfolio of rental properties, but I’m now looking to transition into land development and home building.I’m currently seeking a knowledgeable real estate agent in South Carolina (close to Charlotte metro) who can help me identify suitable land opportunities and connect me with the right team of builders and other professionals to bring projects to life.If you have recommendations or know someone with strong experience in land development or new construction, I’d greatly appreciate your input.Thank you in advance for your help and connections.JC

But as my portfolio expanded faster than my wildest dreams, I knew it was time to assemble a kick-*** team dedicated to underwriting and acquisitions.

We're in the early stages of adding a 16 unit apartment building to our portfolio & wondering if it is time to look into some type of software to allow online payments, tenants to request maintenance, access documents, etc.Any suggestions on software to look into?

When you treat each property like a business unit, the entire portfolio becomes easier to scale.Distressed doesn’t mean risky.

.- Has anyone successfully used VA loans as a stepping stone to building a rental portfolio?

Everyone talks about finding deals, networking, and learning how to analyze properties — and yes, those matter.But the most underrated skill I’ve seen in successful investors is simple:Paying attention to the details after closing.That means:Tracking every expense from day one.Separating business and personal accounts.Understanding what counts as a repair vs. an improvement.Keeping organized records so your CPA doesn’t have to guess.It’s not glamorous, but those details are what protect your profits.I’ve seen investors crush their first few deals… only to get hit with avoidable tax bills or missed deductions later because they didn’t have a system.You don’t need to know everything at once — just treat your portfolio like a real business early on.Deals make you money.Good systems let you keep it.

The seller situation is gold, don’t lose position.Two listed + two off market from the same seller means:You can negotiate a portfolio priceYou can create a single contract with staggered closingsYou can ask for seller financing on some units to reduce your cash needMost sellers will say yes to partial seller carry if they’re selling multiple doors at once.5.
