It's great you're wanting to start in multifamily, it is definitely more scalable than SFRs.

Even for scalability.

That being said, it's time to sell and focus my efforts on the more scalable private syndications.

I know a lot of people use excel, but I'd prefer a true database program for better data integrity, scalability, and creating reports.I've searched the forums and looked in the BP files but nothing is coming up in the search (either I'm not searching right, or no one else is dumb enough to want to build their own database).

I don’t wholesale personally as I think it has a terrible ROI but if you are inclined to seek out distressed properties, the only real scalable option are FB advertising as Account Closed suggested or direct mail with an well organized, scripted telephone program.  

Then I manually adjust their charge and move on.That is what we've been doing up to this point (using a couple excel calculations) but this is wildly un-scalable.

The downside is scalability.

I’ve done deals with the LPs before so they probably wouldn’t mind, but I’m trying to create a precedent and structure that is scalable going forward.

I’m looking for scalable solutions as we grow our portfolio.

However, I think the majority of people on here, if they went to Excel and used a few analysis formulas, will realize quickly the reason that flipping is so prominent currently is due to the lack of scalability in the real estate market at a certain point (beyond $100,000 homes) the effort vs. reward becomes questionable (not a steadfast/absolute rule, but on average it becomes more questionable...sizable risk vs reward).
