@Jacob Dalton - I have been a landlord in Chicago for 13 years and as an investor agent I have worked with 200+ investors on the north side of Chicago over the last 10 years. 

The limit on scaling is your deal flow (mine never was that good) and time it takes to perform the value add (I got fairly quick for example, my last rehab did all new plumbing, electrical, and flooring.  

I disputed a charge on my last statement (believing I've been doubled charged for some work).

I have spent the last few years reading many books on real estate, taking real estate courses, researching, saving as much as I could, investing (to increase my purchase power) and finally feel I can begin my real estate journey this year. 

been working to wrap my head around depreciation and I have had a puzzle I am still sorting just because I refinanced last year.

We built over 70 of these for our clients last year alone.

Quote from @Mackaylee Beach: I think these times (the last two years), and this year are the ones that will give birth to some of the best investors.

Hi Yooni,I’ve been self-managing my 12 Detroit doors for the last 2.5 years, and while I’ve made it work, it’s been far from easy.

It was just last week a landlord here said it doesn't matter if the tenant hates because they all do, so it really doesn't matter how you run it. 

Additionally, by virtue of owning all of the units I could, with the help of an attorney, construct the bylaws in such a way to maximize value and eliminate bylaws that would be value-restrictive.I've talked to a couple of non-QM lenders who could provide financing to buyers under such a scenario, but the tricky part is appraisal value, especially in a state where, according to Redfin, no co-op's have sold in the last 5 years.If I got a couple units sold using seller-financing at $220/sqft, since there aren't any other co-op comps, would this provide a basis upon which an appraiser would provide a valuation closer to $220/sqft than $135/sqft?
