If your objective is to scale by using investment partners,  my advice is to focus on your own market. 

Homeowners investing in large-scale projects might be preparing their properties for sale, making them potential leads for off-market deals.Spot Investment Opportunities:Investors can use building permit data to locate properties undergoing significant upgrades, especially in up-and-coming neighborhoods.

This can reduce labor costs, but be mindful of the time commitment.Leverage Economies of Scale: If you're working on multiple flips or rehabs, bundling similar tasks or projects together can help reduce costs by hiring one contractor or vendor for multiple jobs.Prioritize High-Impact Repairs: Focus on renovations that add the most value, such as kitchen or bathroom upgrades, while avoiding over-improving areas that won't significantly increase the property's resale value.By combining these strategies, you can manage rising costs while maximizing your potential returns on fix-and-flip projects.Kind regards,

.- Because of appreciation, I have been using HELOCs and sold my last house hack in order to scale out of state.

Currently closing about 100+ deals a year and need help with scaling my business.

I didn't want 100 doors. 10-12 was plenty for my plan.There is some truth to economy of scale. 1 in my opinion is harder than 3-4.

In AZ, almost everything is utility scale, so 2.5 acres isn't going to attract much attention from power purchasers or solar developers.

I want to BRRRR SFH on the lower end of the scale, and there are PLENTY of homes in the 15k - 45k range.

I want to scale, but currently I can only afford to buy 1 (maybe 2) properties / year.

Instead of going all-in on one deal, consider using financing to spread your funds across multiple properties to scale faster.
