Quote from @Brian Burke: @Chris Seveney when I started my lending company with two partners our aim was to go from $0 to $2.5M per month. 

So i put in an offer for 10% down conventional loan, $530,000 with 10k back to me for closing costs and it was accepted right away.

I might have a private lender referral that does rural loans in Mid-MO if you're interested. 

That’s something I’m still fine-tuning as I explore new areas.As for scaling up, my focus right now is on leveraging tax-efficient strategies and building a system of limited liability companies (LLCs) to keep risk compartmentalized.

Build - rent - refinance -repeat. in columbus ohio you are buying old houses that are 1900 or 1920 or 1940 and you are in a sellers market. on the other hand you can source land which is a buyers market and build single family homes or duplex or triplexes that will return by renting and pulling cash out on a DSCR loan and doing it again. there aren't a lot of strategies that do this. flipping is different. so many risks. but when someone has a well oiled machine it's all good and less risk.
