I would equate it to managing yourself when you are not set up to manage properties.There is scalability in this...Now to play the Devils advocate if you get autopayments set-up you can always figure out how much interest was paid each year and what your payoff is so just decide how competent you are in that and be honest with yourself, there is nothing wrong in outsourcing parts of your business.

Actually taking the time to dive into, and learn real estate in a way that is scalable is like drinking from a fire hose, and theirs plenty of water!

So having a proper scalable strategy, getting your numbers correct, and ability to stick to it in spite of short term pain is what makes you wealthy over 10-15 years.

I am just curious about the scalability of this.

The first one is often the most difficult to acquire, but also the most important to set the foundation to build upon for future scalability!

Not only do they align with my long-term ownership goals, but they also offer scalability and the opportunity to own apartment complexes, which deeply resonates with my background and aspirations.

The concept seems better than new construction in terms of project time, but I'm wondering about the cons to this idea with exception of price being an obvious one.In theory it seems scalable and efficient, in my mind acquiring the land suitable would be the hardest task.

My goal is to create a scalable entity structure that balances general risk and tax liabilities. 

One of my first investments when I started 18 years ago was to invest in a scalable , versatile CRM.

Once you get to 5-6 properties it is in the price range of some much more sophisticated and scalable packages that can do everything it does and more.
