Id generally like to buy and refinance 6 months to 1 year down the line and scale up bigger rentals. 

And I also think that the inventory in your market plays a large role in deciding what property type makes the most sense.In my market, there is a large abundance of the small multi-family properties, especially the 2-4 unit properties.

What type of properties are you looking to acquire to scale your portfolio?

How to avoid large loses in passive investments?

Looking for various tax strategies to reduce the reality that a large RV or boat is a grossly depreciating assetI would not have a loan, so claiming it as a primary or secondary residence and claiming the mortgage deduction is not applicable.I sold my primary residence and I have several rental properties which I use as I'm fixing them up.What I'm pondering is living aboard and working aboard developing a new product, while traveling.  

It’s great that you’re now planning to scale your real estate investments.

Is there a good strategy to scale my investments or should I just keep what I’ve got?   

Also, scaling and particularly scaling quickly is capital intensive.

If you are vetting large-scale multifamily or commercial, you can do a bit more on spreadsheets, but still it would not be relevant without knowing the potential cap ex. 

To achieve this, I’m planning to scale rapidly by performing a couple of syndications to acquire a larger portfolio.I currently have a portfolio of 17 properties, but to justify labor costs and create a sustainable structure, I need to expand quickly.
