If you’re planning to scale up your investments, you may want to find a bank that grows with you.

Doing anything at scale would likely take an act of congress, decades of litigation and environmental reviews, multiple huge overlapping federal bureaucracies working together, not to mention much of the available federal land is not useful for building housing on as it's in remote areas far from jobs with no water and sewer access, roads or infrastructure... so easier said than done. 

Having two solid paid off investments is more than enough, and I'd argue that it is even a better play for most people than continuing to scale and scale for the sake of scaling.  

B-, C+ grade and are attracting investors for MTRs)Lastly:Anyone have a highly recommended GC they use and would be happy to give more business to?

This will come in handy as you begin to scale.5.

I had someone who did somewhat the opposite, where they changed their mind and wanted 10' basement ceilings and did not check the grade with the invert of the sewer in the street and had to add pumps etc. to their system. 

It was a great way to scale as we ran out of our own funds.

I think that line was a subtle shot against a lot of the competition who were founded by software folks or small scale real estate investors. 

if something is just sitting on the MLS looking too good to be true... then it's too good to be true.these properties are going to have higher costs overall, be in more challenging neighborhoods, have very gnarly deferred maintenance and capex, potentially have liens, be high turnover, and require expert, highly knowledgeable, localized support to be successful. see for example this thread.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...and even at those price points, i think cash flow is fairly low to non-existent if rehabbed to a high grade, especially with DSCR debt. 

Now, I’ve come across several off-market properties with strong potential, and I’m looking to scale by raising capital.
