It forces you to set-up your systems in a way that makes the investment more passive and your overall business more scalable.  

But we also need to systemize it and make it a scalable process because we have a tech that goes and takes these picts and do not want him to make the determination as to which type of picts to take.

If you're better at hiring/managing subs, then I imagine it would be more efficient for you to do it yourself.Of course, that is completely separate from the questions of which is more cost effective, which is more scalable, which would produce better results, which would cause fewer headaches, etc?

Rehab funds will be paid by the lending partner and holding costs.ARV 70-75%After the rehab is completed the profits will be shared 50/50.Terms for this loan is very competitive to other hard money loans because the source is partnering in the deal.If your a new flipper its a very cost effective way to get experience and make money.If your experienced its cost effective and scalable for multiple projects.

A 1% rent-to-price ratio in a Texas market with 2-3.5% property taxes is not scalable in my opinion. 

I decided to get my license for 2 reasons, 1) all of the properties that I have to pass along to my realtor that I can't wholesale, I now can list them and get all the money from the commissions and 2) Florida is one of those states where wholesaling is a real gray area without a real estate license and I want to have a legit scalable business without having any potential legal ramifications, and getting your license in florida is pretty simple as you know.

Now you have a semi-passive way forward that is scalable, could do thousands like this. 

To me, the biggest advantage to buying below FMV is scalability.

It's not scalable and even more important it's not the safest thing to do.A while ago I would allow mailed payments, but after dealing with so many delays due to "sent back due to wrong address", "I sent it but it must have got lost, I'll resend it today(two weeks after due date" and the list goes on and 99% BS excuses.

I call it a niche because (A) not as many people are doing that and (B) it's not scalable since there's few cases where it makes economic sense relative to other strategies and (C) you need knowledge and contacts that are pretty specialized.And, no - the City doesn't have rent control and I'm not aware of anywhere in the County where there is.
