Go with a background check where you can see what is actually in it not just them giving you a letter grade or pass go. 

It does not happen overnight and having a track record is especially helpful in scaling this.

Anything helps, per this example we could say:A single family home that is not builder grade but not luxury so in the middle being 1,600 sqft, 3 bed, 2 bath.Also a:duplex that is 2000sqft vertical build that is identicle layout on floor 1 and 2. each unit would be 1000 sqft and 2 bed, 1 bath.To note, the loan on property 3 is a DSCR loan because there is not 2 years of stable income from me because I am still in college.If there is anymore info that could be needed please let me know. 

Best of luck with scaling your business. 

Then the guest speaker started discussing some legal topics and I thought some of the advice was not great (since I handle real estate transactions on a small scale) so it turned me off a bit.

I’m trying to save PM fees by using rent redi software for the time being until I am able to scale up

@Shiloh Lundahl Yes, I've been exploring business models like that and would love to see somebody doing it successfully on a small scale (say four properties on four different islands).

Maybe we are being forced into a colder world, where people just buy builder grade BS, and things are just treated as roofs over peoples heads, but feel is something human that cannot be taken away, and a good agent understands this and their buyers.

Once you've gained more experience, you can relocate to a cheaper market and scale up your investments.

Hi all,I have 5 units and will have the ability over the next couple years to scale some.One thing that is holding me back is the time commitment on maintenance between little issues that wouldnt really make sense for a handyman/contractor to do and probably wouldnt take the job anyway to renos/painting/etc between tenants and everything in between.
