It's easier to scale with multifamily properties due to income potential and operations.

I'm not looking to scale anytime soon. 

@Kris Lou Many factors go into PMC pricing:1) Locality (city/state)2) Neighborhood & Property Class (time to manage Class A < Class B < Class C < Class D)3) Property condition (slumlord properties hard to manage)4) Number of units (some economies of scale, but not as much as owners think)5) Owner expectations (some owners really want a personal assistant!)

To scale this route you need to have a good system in place to ensure you are profitable.

A small multifamily property is a smart choice for a first investment—it offers a great balance of income potential and manageable scale for someone new to the space.Don’t worry about being ambitious; it’s clear you’ve done your homework, and you’re already ahead of the game by setting a clear goal.

They’ll be essential in helping you navigate challenges and scale efficiently.Since you’re planning for 2025, now’s a great time to start networking, analyzing deals, and learning about financing options (especially if you're a first time flipper..). 

If a bonus structure doesn’t work and you scale back, it can demotivate employees.

At this level of scale, it is almost the same as running an extra unit.

I intend to continue to scale a bit in this area, but eventually I'd like to either sell or hire someone to manage everything.

The way I finally found success was through repetition and then building systems as you repeat to help you scale...
