At your stage, the best moves are learning the basics, analyzing practice deals every day, and surrounding yourself with investors so you build confidence and direction.

Banks lend to strangers every day using that same principle.

The key is specialization, not geography.When you’re interviewing CPAs, ask them this very basic question:“How do you handle taxes and accounting differently for real estate agents versus real estate investors?”

I am meeting with a possible mentor this coming Monday and I need some advice.I got my name out there to basically everyone I know and I was lucky enough to get referred to a highly experienced local real estate professional.He does it all from Wholesaling, to Renting, to Flipping, etc.

For those of us running multiple LLCs and scaling portfolios, an interest-only revolving line that’s based on rents instead of income or DTI is basically a business line of credit secured by the asset.

My cash flow goal was way off once I starting playing around with numbers in the the financial forecaster excel sheet that comes with the Start with Strategy book.I learn best with examples so throwing out examples of numbers of what a bad goal would look like vs. a good one, or even very basic ways to calculate projected returns would be really helpful for me.

As well as creating ongoing vendor relationships to help with their businesses/multiple sources of income.I value family, following ethics & prudent principles, morals, honesty, quality work, as well as dedicated commitment to purpose & mission.
