I'm curious to learn from this community—what strategies, partnerships, or team-building techniques have you found most effective in scaling your real estate ventures?

I see how this cannot lighten the burden of interest if you are continually borrowing from the LOC, but can't the equity be making more $$ in other ventures while a conventional is still heavy with interest and no access to the equity. 

Small ventures, Buildium is great!

But if not, it also may make sense to look for passive investments or joint-ventures with more experienced people.

Also just so you know, they are not Hard Money Lender's they are your joint venture partner in every aspect of the deal.

which seems rather 'overpriced,' for an REI venture with a handful of people or less (in most instances) using the data lines and server space, etc. 

Hope this helps and best of luck to you in your venture.
