Super high credit scores?

You're right there that's not a single platform that does everything but I feel like Baselane comes close to it.

Go look up the 4 square method by Brandon Turner on YouTube - super simple that will get you started off in the right direction.  

Congrats on your 1st investment property, super exciting!!!!!

Any advice would be super helpful!

I’m curious whether a VA is most useful for small portfolios, or only when you hit 5+ units.Real experiences are super helpful — good, bad, or ugly.Who here is using VAs?

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.

It's super meticulous and annoying, but necessary!

Getting around other investors early is super helpful, and you’ll start building connections that can really support you once you’re ready to buy. 

I do plan on purchasing out of state due to California being very expensive.I would like to focus on single family homes for long term rentals.
