The idea of "economy of scale" on small properties like duplexes is largely a myth.

I'm coming from smaller scale mixed use development and fundraising.

I don't think Im paying my bookeepeer an outrageous amount, although with economies of scale (I have one commercial insurance plan, commerical portfolio loan from a single bank, one bank account, etc) it probably doesn't take the Bookeeper 3x to do my books compared to yours. 

You start out, grow and scale in that order. 

The situation allows for an excellent opportunity to work with a property manager and build trust.I am looking to gradually build and scale my real estate portfolio in Atlanta by purchasing one property each year.

It's amazing how much you have scaled over the last five years. 

Using this method, we will have our home paid off in about 2 more years AND will have a massive HELOC we can use to scale even more. wht are you going to do after the mortgage is paid-off ?

1.Finding Value: Identifying properties with strong upside potential is critical in markets like Antioch.2.Rehab Management: Staying under budget and on schedule ensures better cash flow and quicker refinancing.3.Leverage Matters: The HELOC strategy allows me to scale quickly and acquire more properties without tying up personal capital.
