And since you cannot grow without scale and you cannot scale without growing, it becomes the classic case of which comes first.  

This is the sale of a participation interest in the First Mortgage secured by this classical late 19th century architecturally beautiful property making it a potential rental or fix and flip opportunity.

….I humbly ask for the guidance of the BP community in solving this classic "Whodunnit" mystery. 

The idea that COC always gets better as you put down less on an investment (classic leverage) generally holds true in a low interest rate environment, especially in the "artificially" low interest rate environment created by the Fed.

I have two SFR's where I keep the gaint garages for materials, another for classic cars.

It would still require a GC and site crew but definitely less time on-site than a classic site-built home. 

A medical resident at the local hospital has put in a LOT of work and effort to get where they are, and they're unlikely to risk ruining their credit over silly late rent payments or property damage.Having said that, if you upgrade that hypothetical C-grade property to an A-, but it's in an area where nobody has the money to pay the higher rent, or there aren't people interested in renting a higher grade property, then that's going to cost you (this is the classic case of over-improving a property--which a very common mistake by beginning real estate investors).

Because asking after the best way to do something very often leads to people doing nothing if they can't find the best way, if there is no measurable best way.One of the my favorite classical quotes comes from the Punic Wars: the Carthaginian general Hannibal's response to a subordinate's question about how he would get his troops over the Alps to attack Rome from its undefended north."
