He may stop doing it as a courtesy, or you may need to explain that it's a requirement to keep working together and he needs your work so he stops taking other work, or he may say that he can't afford to pass up the other work and you can negotiate a better pay scale or a bonus for timely completion. 

Looking now to scale and network here in Florida. 

Would be happy to connect and knowledge share about how I scaled my portfolio over the last 4 years. 

There are a few that specialize in smaller buildings that are in very close proximity to each other to where they can bundle and the economies of scale will work.

I am blown away that she is in her 20s, not that age should matter, but she is brilliant beyond her years, and humble.Her intentionality was evident, not only in scaling her own portfolio, but organizing the process to make it doable by anyone else willing to learn and put in the work.

I'm eager to hear if other investors make it a priority to diversify into other markets (I think my neighborhoods in STL will continue to have demand, but nothing is a given), and if you feel there's more of a return to be had with the same amount of effort by scaling up into commercial properties or apartment complexes.

I am only 1.5 hours away and I want to be hands on- my strategy is to scale quickly so I am looking to BRRR.

@Steve C.If a deal is 70% Debt financed, then 70% of the gross income is taxable as UDFI.You then apply a $1000 exemption and 70% of allowable deductions like depreciation, interest, etc.The resulting net taxable income is then subject to trust tax rates, which scale in brackets.A typical $100K investment in a syndication may produce a net taxable amount of about $1,000 on annual distributions of rental income, which will fall in the 10% bracket. 

Software does have its advantages but it does require some set up and its another thing to keep track of, if you scale then you will need it eventually and it might be worth getting it upfront.
