I have seen a lot of people who get in to real estate with some amount of money, spend cash to scale but never take the time to build the processes for their business first.Good luck, be smart with when and where you spend money and you will do great!  

My goal is to look at duplexes up to quadplexes and partner with other investors (have 4 currently willing) to purchase for good cash flow and future equity and then scale over time.

Hi all, I am a small multifamily investor and am beginning to scale.

Have it taken out carefully and sell it to a specialty dealer when the time comes.I think this should tip the scales toward covering it, and I almost always refinish my own floors, using my own equipment.

That's just my experience.Now, I invest nationally, in growth markets.I invest in economies of scale: Apartment buildings, instead of small multifamily or single family homes.I also help others do the same, by bringing co-investors in for these big deals.Anyone else out there who's also a residential Realtor, but invests in multifamily real estate?

Feel free to connect if you need any advice and I would suggest getting plugged in to some of the Real Estate Investor Associations locally if you want to seriously scale your portfolio. 

My plan is to build passive income over the next ten years by scaling a real estate portfolio that I can manage once retired.

At that point, become a market expert, go to as many meetups as possible, get a mentor in that market doing what you want to do at a large scale and go all in. 

Well Karma, my advice to folks is: Go residential and learn how to solve problems for sellers and buyers.There is a video on upper scale homes that have little equity herehttp://www.selectleasepurchasehomes.com/ Learn sub2, lease options and wraps for controlling or acquiring. or....

Suburban three story walk up style apartments are my guess at least 60% of multifamily large scale projects.
