How to scale for an intermediate RE Investor?

[Account Closed]

Hey all, I have this question that pops into my head every so often about the big RE Investors.

A little background - I currently have 6 SFH's and somedays I feel like I'm swimming upstream with them, I don't have particularly difficult tenants or anything and knock on wood everyone has paid since I started, but I feel like I'm small potatoes always fighting for small deals when I really want to know how to get into bigger deals (20+ doors, 2-10$ million apartments).

I have a decent team i've assembled that can repair and install anything from plumbing to roof and electrical etc. I am wondering - how does someone like Grant Cardone, or big real estate investors scale to the point of having multi million dollar deals and cash flow of 20-50K +. I understand it's a longer road in real estate, I just wonder if I'm even on the right path or not.



Additionally, if anyone has any rec's for good books to read that are more for the intermediate to advanced RE investor I'm all ears. Thanks all for the help.
