Hi real estate friends,My wife and I recently bought our first home in Co springs area close to garden of the gods and other attractions in the area. to no surprise our interest rate is a whooping 7.1%, the main house has 4 - BD 2 B. our mortgage is $4009. the property we bought has an attached dwelling unit on the side of it, completely independent from the main unit we live in, we are currently renting it out for 2 years for a tenant for $1545, It has one bedroom one bath.My question is what are some ways to scale especially since in the current market (is kind of almost impossible)?

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

Given your extensive reviews and strong opinions about so many land investing courses, would you be willing to verify your identity as an independent investor?

But I hear there are independent options if you don’t use a PM.

Hire an inspector /independent person to manage the job site for you, someone with your best interest at heart.

-I'm fairly careful with communication , but again, I know doing business online is way riskier, but I want to ask: Typically, I would trust someone who seems very in-depth, informative (gives statistics and numbers), and basically would give me thorough steps (including worst-case scenarios and what would best fit my situation)^^would people who have experience say that even with the above, some agents/lenders/PMs would still be sort of out to get your money and do a lousy job?

Its generally retail medical operators, so we include things like the market dynamics for our use and why statistically the market and location of the site will be viable form a business case standpoint, and speak to how the startup has enlisted the help of an EMR or other such consultant to help in their general rampup and ability to bill/get insurance contracts.
