ITs how I ran my HML shops we lent the banks money  LOL.. boy it was good when it was good.. borrow at 5 lend at 20... 15% on the delta made for a nice living if you can scale it..

It takes many years of work and experience to become a well known listing agent of choice at scale (and continued good execution to maintain it).

Here are pockets I focus on for cash flow:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), BedfordHere are the areas that I focus on for appreciation:West side - Lakewood, Edgewater, Old Brooklyn, Ohio City, Tremont (above 490)East side - Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Fairfax*I have a graded neighborhood map of these areas as well if you would like to check it out.

I have been beta testing the JP Morgan "Story" platform over the last year, and it has been extremely useful for helping to scale my firm's multifamily investment portfolio.

I'm not taking significant risks with new projects at the moment either so I'm not in a huge rush but also don't want to lose money as time goes on.I decided to build this property in an up-and-coming area (B- grade) with an estimated rental value of $1800-$2000 per month.

I'd be happy to send you a graded map of the area and a list of useful contacts.

Cost of Small-Scale Development: It’s true that building very small units can have a higher per-unit cost (we spend much of our day educating homeowners on the true all-in costs).

You could easily scale to thousands of units singlehandedly.

Seems to me that at scale, a portfolio like Luka's would indeed build wealth over time and open up options to transition into higher quality appreciation markets several years down the line, with the benefit of more capital and (more importantly) more experience.

Most don't worry about CapEx on SFR.You'll make more money by scaling faster:)
