Yes, it's true that you might be able to find a product you need at a greater discount when a brand like Wayfair or CB2 is having a sale, but I've found that they truly do offer superior discounts at scale, even considering the fee. 

We are not large scale but we do own properties in multiple states and are aware of the limitation of a subjective line like "should have rented in a hot market".

Purchase price: $232,000 Cash invested: $18,000 My real estate investment journey began with a leap of faith when I purchased my first investment property—a charming but very needy fixer-upper in Connecticut.

Also, it's likely that a slightly smaller amount of each payment will go toward principal since the loan balance is higher and the rates are likely nearly the same once the MI of 0.5% is added to the rate.

Pick the lender you want to scale with.  

Quote from @Srikanth Kumar: Hi Everyone,I’m relatively new to long-distance investing and am exploring the purchase of multifamily properties in Cleveland.

Im down to 6 loans right now and scaling back going to retire soon .

Want to acquire a self-car wash within Dallas Texas area. Was wondering if anyone knows a guy/girl that can't help me acquire sed property off market for a better price. Any information would be appreciated. 

Having a trusted team in place can make or break deals as you scale and face unexpected challenges. 

I’m working on scaling my multifamily portfolio as well, and I’m always looking for sharp, motivated people to collaborate with.
