Hi Frank, sounds like you’ve built a solid foundation and have exciting plans ahead - If you're planning to scale, you might also want to explore hard money loans or DSCR loans alongside private lending.

Seem like solid markets for the years ahead.

I disagree--there are more tough times ahead, but as stated above there is light at the end of the tunnel and this time it's not a train. 

We have to order six months ahead from our Mennonite source and put a deposit down

I have definitely built equity through forced appreciation and am way ahead on this “investment.”  

With your construction background, you’re already a step ahead.

That is the best case scenario, of course sometimes you get lied to and stalled, that's why it is important to always emply a double strategy and stay a step ahead.

I made tons of mistakes on my second house hack and I still came out ahead.

It is not really apples to apples, but generally speaking the more money invested the further ahead you will be eventually in the future, just because your compounding base is higher, regardless of where the money comes from - ie, 4 300k properties are 1.2 million on property, which is double the 600k property.
