For the last 4 years I have purchased 7 rental homes that are all renting but similarly to monopoly it’s time to scale.

There are so many great strategies to help you scale your portfolio, so I understand your desire to find the right plan and avoid mistakes.

If you're looking to scale and take full advantage of house hacking, look for a property on the larger end of the spectrum, ideally 4 units.

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

Fastest way to scale. 

Of course, the smaller the property, the more necessary that you see every inch of it because there isn't a business running on top of the land like large-scale multifamily, self-storage, industrial, and more.

Hi Chris, I've never met any one in the Atlanta area that builds to rent large scale.  

It takes dedicated resources to build out and to do effectively at scale.

The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.With your experience in construction and remodeling, you’re already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you. 

If you’re just starting or want to minimize risk, house hacking is a killer move—grab a duplex, live in one unit, rent the other, and let it pay down your mortgage while you scale up.
