Scaling out of state while busy working my W-2

[Sean Gallagher]

Bit of a crossroads here, I'm hoping someone with a similar situation could chime in. I'm really busy with my w2 job working all the time to fund my investments. I've been buying SFH's out of state all cash as long term hold rentals. A smaller paid off portfolio seemed a lot easier to manage so that is the path I was on.. but I've come to the realization if I ever want to accumulate serious wealth I will have to use leverage and scale big. How are you able to scale big when out of state and super busy? My estimation was with leverage I could do about 7 homes a year and each year after it would increase. Soon I would be doing a home a month+. Trying to wrap my head around this being feasible while working so much at my w2. My involvement would go down drastically to where the only thing I'm doing would be funding the deals.

-Do you have a property manager that you turn the home over to after purchase and they take care of everything?  

-How much involvement do you have? 

I imagine this isn't cheap but I don't see another way.
