Once you get passed 3 rentals and want to keep scaling and really build a business out of it, it's time to get that site up!

I would try to network with local wholesalers and investor-friendly agents, but at some point to really scale you'll need to market directly to potential sellers.

I’ve found there can be much more work due to economies of scale (meaning there’s just more of everything) when you get up to an 8-12 unit building.

My question is whether I need to trust my analysis and agent to find a deal and wait for a BRRRR so I can scale quicker, or play it safe and crank out another house hack in May.

Otherwise, it isn't too exciting to buy a negative cash flowing property because it prevents you from scaling today.

On this site, it seems like there's a lot of crickets when the subject of residential development and larger scale residential building comes up....which is disappointing as there's a lot of wise people here... maybe the niche is smaller than I thought or we're looking in the wrong place for answers....

I've met partners, lenders, contractors, essentially my team and its been incredibly valuable.I also recommend finding someone in your market doing what you want to be doing at a larger scale and figuring out a way that you can provide them value.

Hi - a lot of people in your situation move from conventional to "DSCR Loans" for this exact reason - since its hard to scale meaningfully when needing a DTI ratio to qualify (one of the main benefits of DSCR is no DTI ratio in qualification).Check out this 10-part guide on all you need to know on DSCR Loans published on BP!

Me and my fiancé are wanting to try and purchase new construction homes in class A to B neighborhoods (275-350K) and put 20-25% downs and live in them for 1-2 years while we save another down payment and then eventually move on and make it a rental.We are not looking to scale rapidly.

We are rapidly growing and are handling the scaling well (which should be the most difficult part).
