Scale vertical or horizontal....
When designing my business model I constantly ask myself what direction I want to go. Should you try a number of different methods and see which one works best or find one starting off and roll with it. I find myself feeling it is the combonation of the two.

Hey Nathan,
I agree with your conclusion. I think it is a really fluid decision that has to be reassessed pretty regularly.
I'd say work as hard as you possibly can every day and keep a pulse on your happiness and fulfillment and the rest should fall into place.
When you're young is when you should be trying a ton of different things, figuring out what you love doing, and what works the best, then double down on that thing.
To put it in real estate terms, if apartment investing works out well but makes you miserable, is it worth it? If student housing is less profitable than apartments but you're excited to tackle each day, is that ok?
I may be assuming too much into your question and took it in the wrong direction, just trying to be helpful.
