Two Way to “Scale”. Which did (do or will) You Choose?

[Don Konipol]

I think there are two ways to “scale” your real estate business or investments.  (Maybe there’s more than two, if you know any others please let us know).  
1- do more deals (investments, loans, etc.)

2- do bigger deals (investment, loans, etc.)

I chose bigger exclusively.  I went from $25,000 loans to $100,000 loans to $250,000 loans to an average loan size of $2,000,000.  On real property purchases I went from $50,000 to $500,000 to $1 million +.  

Which way did you (or which way do you ) scale your real estate activities. Or did you chose to scale at all? Staying exactly as you are and doing the same thing may be the best strategy for many.
