It's mainly a sliding scale up and down so pick which works best for your strategy. 

Scaling is appropriate if you know how to measure your risk. 

Yes, I could scale up quicker because of the low costs, but I'd much rather have a smaller portfolio of higher-profit units.If you intend to self-manage the property, I'd immediately cross out everything that is more than an hour drive away.

If you are scaling quickly, you may want to consider this decision carefully as it is not fun to switch.

I forego better "cashflow" opportunities, but look for greater appreciation opportunities - they're generally on a linear "scale", opposite from each other, but blend as you slide along that scale.By setting your buy-box, you can at least narrow down your search.

I'm taking a little bit of a break this year to focus on scaling, streamlining and re-strategizing going forward.

Enough about me though.I’m wanting help budgeting $1000 cash flow for scaling my wholesale business.

Anyone in the business would agree it is a team sport if you want to scale a portfolio.
