I am open to properties that may require minimal renovations if the deal aligns with my investment criteria.My long-term plan is to scale my portfolio deliberately, ideally acquiring multiple properties within the next 1-2 years.

This will come in handy as you begin to scale.5.

How would you scale?

Listen to podcasts, watch online seminars, network, find a mentor, and use software for managing properties and tools to analyze deals.Start your first investment on a small scale, like buying a single house to rent out or a small apartment building.

If you have scale, then it may make sense.

Many local groups will step in to find and fund "first time etc" qualified hard working homeowners though, find great tennants to get in your units if you go this route, & set it up correctly.If states like Indiana are pushing that they are "tiny home friendly" (in that case I've heard of the log cabin law, but don't necessarily know if that's directly applicable to community-scale developments).

Looks Like both of you have two different Risk reward models and also different scaling models.Leverage is king.  

I've never seen one story climate control self storage ever. you need to build vertical for economies of scale. most of the ones I've seen are vertical and infill. 

I could scale 10X in the states if I did not have to dedicate my efforts to the properties in the island. 

@Chris Seveney any recommendations for someone with some experience but trying to get theirs arms around systems and processes to scale their portfolio?
