And how are you planning to scale from here to hit those 40 properties?

Plus gators ae bragging about getting 200% plus returns.  200% on a 5k loan is still small dollars.. we all hit those occasionally I just hit one that was 645% but it was not gator lending its was big boy buy hold and sell .. just happened to go from original investment to sale in 18 days.. so thats how you Juice your returns short term . but if its a 5k em or a 2k em who cares its still small dollars and unless you have 10 to 20 of those going at all times your still just putzing around.

Their online payment system doesn't recognize non traditional banks (credit unions) so your hit with $27 fee to pay with debit or have to take time out of your schedule and go to a Western Union for a $3.95 fee.
