It's stopping me from scaling to a much larger portfolio leveraged versus a smaller paid off portfolio.  

But if your goal is to cashflow positive from the Day 1, you may find it very challenging due to current day interest rates, high cost of construction and the fact you won't have the efficiencies of a seasoned developer building at scale.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

I collaborate with large custodian companies.

Dan Gilbert did that by snapping up a large part of Downtown Detroit.- If you build a good/great portfolio, you will have multiple exit options you can evaluate annually or whenever.3) Don't overleverage beyond your risk tolerence.

It might take a large financial institution with capital for “brainpower” and marketing, and financial and reputation strength to design as well as create a trading market for this type of security. 

My advice would be to start small with your first deals to gain experience before scaling up.
