Today, I’m actively working on my first BRRRR deals in the Sacramento region, building strategic systems, and establishing the right professional team (contractors, property managers, lenders, and attorneys) to scale safely.My goals are to:•Build a portfolio of profitable, well-managed BRRRR properties•Develop long-term assets •Create a multigenerational legacy through smart financing, disciplined operations, and strong partnerships•Connect with investors, contractors, and professionals who value transparency, responsibility, and consistencyI’m here to learn, share my journey, and build relationships with people who take real estate investing seriously.

Only capital losses, like losses on stock or crypto sales, can offset capital gains.You might consider other options, such as borrowing again a life insurance policy or a securities-backed loan on your current portfolio, to free up funds for a down payment without triggering capital gains.

I am interested in learning about creative financing for this rehab, networking, and eventually growing my LTR portfolio to several units, with some potential added flips along the way.

Due to managing my own portfolio and wanting a less expensive software system I switched to TenantCloud which is a good PM software too but I do recommend Buildium.

Here’s how to start attracting private lenders for your deals:
- Build trust.  Share your track record, experience, and deal transparency.- Offer fair terms.  Investors want consistent returns secured by real assets....

I know of a few investors that have sold 3/4 of their real estate portfolio to do 2 year leap options on good underlying stocks like NVDA, TSLA, META, MSFT, UNH, and a few others.

I want to build a portfolio of multi-family homes to start.

If you’re serious about growing a portfolio, I’d suggest focusing on markets that offer both cash flow and long-term growth.

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

I moved from Portland to Columbus, Ohio in 2020 and built my portfolio this way, and it’s worked well, especially here where the numbers still make sense.
