As you get more experience, scaling up to larger properties will open up even more opportunities.

I’m looking to connect with those of you who are actively using or interested in the BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy to scale your rental portfolios.Whether you’re new to BRRR or a seasoned investor, I’m here to discuss best practices, potential local opportunities, and ways we can collaborate to make your investments efficient and profitable.

I found ways to borrow the cash and did 5 cash out refis within 7 years to recycle the equity to scale up.

I like the strategy of having a job with guaranteed income and taking advantage of owner occupied financing to purchase a house hack, staying connected with the REI community in the area, and scaling up from there.

The new buyer could certainly scale back on the "curb appeal". 

My long-term goal would be investing in large scale hotels, I know I know, that's quite ambitious, but I don't mind starting small and working my way up there, as long as I start from somewhere!

Mailing cards are expensive and needs to be done at scale.

We have a decent plan working now, its just a matter of financing and scaling.

Our real estate goals are to purchase our first investment by end of 2025 (ideally small muti-family like a duplex), and scale to ~40 doors to reach our financial targets.EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE: My parents flipped every house I ever lived in growing up.
