It is a smaller lake only about 180 acres, but it is a sandy bottom.   

It’s built for independent landlords and smaller portfolios, but it scales well if you add more units over time.A few features that stand out for portfolio management:Dashboard view – Track rent collection, leases, expenses, and cash flow across all your properties at once.Tenant tools – Screening, leases, and rent payments all in one place.Banking integration – You can connect your existing accounts or use Baselane’s banking to keep rental income and expenses organized (helps a lot with bookkeeping and reporting).Mobile-friendly – Even though there’s no dedicated app, the platform is cloud-based and works smoothly on your phone browser, so you can manage things on the go.It’s a nice balance between property management software and financial tracking, so you always have the full picture of your portfolio. 

GoogleVoice or similar is the way to go, to keep your personal & business calls separate.With only 4 doors, you don't have enough scale to sign up for the PMC-world solutions of emergency call centers:(As a PMC, can tell you that 90% of after-hour calls are NOT an emergency. 

Since it’s tied to a different property, your HELOC won’t appear on the title prelim, and most HMLs don’t care where your EMD comes from; I can’t say we’ve ever asked.If you put 100% of the purchase price down as the EMD, the only way you’ll get all of it back is if your lender offers 100% financing on your flip, which few do.

Hello,Has anyone had success with purchasing a small real estate portfolio?

Most of my CA, NY investors buy in Indiana and over the last few years have cashed on the quicker positive ARV options, and better purchase pricesIf you ever have any questions, feel free to check out my profile or send me an email.

If you are of modest means and want to scale, what you need to shoot for is equity, not necessarily cash flow.

@Skylar Daugherty- thanks for the post ....if you are needing to use financing as  you purchase more  rentals - make sure you have  a  lender / title / escrow and realtor  on your team ...good luck

This is how many people find success in scaling without breaking the bank on high lending fees with investor loans.

What I find is that I end up paying a little more on the purchase side.
