What is the fastest way to scale up as a real estate investor

[Robert Ruschak]

What is the fastest way to scale up as a real estate investor and create life changing passive/active income?

1) Was it investing into several single family homes, building up a successful track record and presenting similar opportunities to other seasonal and new 1st time investors?

2) Was it investing into 2-4 unit multi-family properties, while residing in one unit and financing with a FHA loan? Did that house hacking method allow you to build skills in property management/property maintenance and set you up for bigger multi-family investments down the road?

3) Did you start out with investing into a $1m to $10 m self-storage facility or 50+ unit multi-family with other  entrepreneurs/business owners? Did you have wealthy people believe in you before or after college and finance your business like billionaire Ken Griffin?
