However this is not scalable.

(It would most likely need to be a flip/wholesale since I am not "bankable" for a mortgage yet)Not so short term (5-8 months): Some time towards the end of summer moving into a SMF (Preferably a 4-plex) when my current lease ends and credit score/time with job should be good enough to be bankable and do a BRRRR/Live in flip/House hack.Long term (3-5 years): BRRRR my way from SFH and SMF into large multi family.Very long term(5-15 years): Continue growing a scalable business in RE (still havent figured out exactly what direction that will be in) or Grant Cardone 2.0 in syndications (Sky's the limit right?)
