I love the BRRRR method, having scaled my real estate portfolio from just 2 units to 18 in 12 months (From 2 units to 18 Units in 12 Months), and later from 18 to 60 units in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic (18 to 60 Units During the First 9 Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic).

@Kamryn DeVaultTo invest in a duplex, consider factors like neighborhood quality, economic stability, safety, property condition, cash flow potential, financing options, tenant screening, lease agreements, future potential, legal and zoning considerations, maintenance and management, networking, and starting small and scaling.

My hope is to scale and grow wisely but proactively as I march toward that reality.

It’s not because self-management hasn't worked, but rather because I’m looking to free up my time to scale my portfolio further and focus on some other time-intensive projects.If you’re managing from a distance, the key is building a local network you trust—contractors, handymen, leasing agents.

As for a information to specific grades for neighborhoods, you may struggle to find that as it can be fairly subjective.

I'm only vested in getting free coffee from you @Michael Plaks.Generally cost segregations do not tip the scale in favor or not of a 1031 exchange.
