Sometimes teaming up with another investor can help you scale up faster.

Quote from @Robert Ruschak: Would you skip the 700+ single family houses and scale up faster into multi-family?

The fix/flip might be a good way to get such a relationship started: usually has lower cash out of pocket requirements and you can sell the property faster to recoup the capital invested, plus any profits.

Even if PS had 100% accuracy, it wouldn't matter.It is about whether or not these people are motivated and I promise you 99.9% of these people PS will feed you are NOT motivated.So you should be thankful you only have a 20% success rate getting contact info, because if they gave you 100% contact info you would go bankrupt MUCH faster sending all these people mailers.Nothing can target motivated sellers, NOTHING can.

You can't beat the price, either, or the interest rate on deposits.

Pro Tip: Use a simple landing page to promote your lead magnet, making it easy for sellers to download it in exchange for their contact information.Why It Works:Providing value upfront builds trust and gets motivated sellers into your pipeline faster.2.

You should be able to beat the existing rate even. 

But having a backup or two isn’t a bad idea, especially if deals start flowing faster than one person can handle.Good luck finding the right team!

There are plenty of them out there that keep pace with or beat inflation. 

The rent from the other units will allow your to purchase a more expensive property than you could on your own, which could help you build the value of your portfolio (and equity) faster.
