I think that's why most argue against doing it unless you are an experienced investor and have cushion.

The first agent is absolutely certain the house will sell in the high 400’s.  

Here’s what I see as key factors for scalability:Population Growth: The area is experiencing steady growth, which usually drives demand for rental properties.Property Appreciation: Reading’s property values have been increasing, indicating it’s becoming a more desirable place to live.

Even in high-cost markets, creative financing or partnering with experienced investors could help you get in the game.

I've looked into 6+ including calling and experiencing the customer service myself and have not found one that seems reliable.

Everything was hand typed, and xerox'd.Everything was closely guarded by real estate agents and their weekly published MLS listings in black and white.Gas lines were two hours long to get half a tank.We were told interest rates would never go below 6%, the current rate was 8%What did you have a question about?

Now I am realizing there are too many of them for me to personally execute on, but I also hate the idea of wasted opportunities.How does an experienced investors actually scale their operations besides just hiring VAs? 

I'm curious what more experienced investors will leave to finish repairing after they list the property, but before they start to show it (or lease it).I start the marketing about two weeks prior to completion, with an advertised availability date of one week after completion.
