Scalability - How to buy something bigger

[Evan Manship]

I have a question for full-time real estate investors who have purchased mid-size commercial properties (multi-family, office, retail, etc.)

Many of us on this site are investing in single-family homes, some multi-families, etc. I am curious how you scaled your businesses into rolling your profits and expertise into acquiring larger apartment buildings. What advice would you give to investors who are stuck looking into more deals that revolve around residential investing when we want to move up to the world of commercial eventually?

How did you do it and what would you do differently?
