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

I talked to someone the other day that was happy making $200 a month after expenses and they were scaling that way with multiple purchases. 

@Johanna Valencia If you're looking to scale the portfolio, I'd suggest getting into another multi, somewhere within a manageable distance as to make it easy for you to manage, but also find something in which you will be able to fit your family.

I prefer to tap into the equity using a HELOC I’m just unsure about the best way to grow and scale from there.

Most of my clients bring us on to fine tune their existing properties/processes, but also to help them scale their business by helping them buy time back by offloading the management responsibilities.

Quote from @Brian Valdivia: Quote from @Skyler Shively: Looking to scale my rental portfolio.

There are lots of small scale solar farms in upper state NY, MA, ME due to their more friendly solar farm policy.

I've scaled thorugh Turnkey, BRRRRs and everything in between.

This scales faster in the short-run but you'll quickly run out of capital and be stuck saving cash flow (and other income) to buy the next rental.I hope that helps.

Partnering with other investors can help scale quickly.Good luck!
