However, these are the types of deals I’ve done many times which accelerated my climb up the net work scale, culminating in my being able to sit back and live off the interest from my hard money lending/ discounted note purchases.

So we are funding dirt flippers now for montly money and you find a good vertically integrated dirt flipper and I bring them a TON of value I allow them to scale since most are very much capital constrained..

Second, becoming a GC allowed me to quit my day job and go full time building my own projects as I charge my investors to GC the projects, and that allowed me to find more deals and investors much faster as being in/around RE all day every day is very helpful to scale quickly.

@Shivani KumarYou would need to operate on a very large scale, or have access to a TON of airline miles to make it worthwhile flying to inspect properties you are interested in.

I was thinking about economies of scale with adjacent properties.

I would love to pick your brain on scaling and any major obstacles you had to overcome and strategies used to grow your portfolio! 

We have an LLC registered but haven't had much activity in it, so I was always thinking of starting a small-scale Real Estate Consulting where we could offer the afore-mentioned services for a minimal fee.

Cash flow is hard to come by in the Boulder / Denver markets and although the extra monthly cash flow would be great, and there's plenty of places in Iowa that will cash flow, I'm wanting to scale quickly and feel Colorado would be a decent place for that. 

Aggressively review opportunities in your limited spare time and scale up as you gain experience.

Im making the push and want to scale up my investing.
