You’ll face hurdles like maintaining a steady deal flow, securing funding, managing renovations efficiently, and optimizing your exit strategies.This guide highlights key strategies for investors looking to transition from single deals to a scalable, volume-based distressed property investment model.1.

Quote from @Kaaren Hall: Was going for the best cost-of funds (lower rate)@Kaaren Hall So you were less concerned about your annual cash flow/return (IRR)? 

  $6k per month and $30,000 to get it going and it cash flowed about $20k a month. 

If you are looking for cash flow, I would look at a 4-plex.

Focus and consistency are going to be your best friends.Also, I wouldn't tackle buy-and-holds right now unless you currently have a high cash flow revenue stream in place.

Are you cash flowing the property?

In Dayton, I find most of my clients like A/B class 1-4 units because they can actually cash flow AND be in great areas.

@Jason Sinclair, having a designer for a wife, I would answer that it really depends heavily on each house, the flow and usability of the spaces as they are, and the overall use of space in the house as a whole.That being said, while there may be a small shift towards more separated spaces, "open concept" is by no means dead, and in many markets, most people seem to still want to have connectivity between their communal spaces.In fact, my wife's current flip is a split level (although technically it is a split-foyer), and she is taking out a structural wall to connect the kitchen, dining and living areas.  

It's taken me nearly 15 years to acquire 26 LTR SFHs and get to the point where the past investments will cash flow life and pay for one additional SFH per year. 

My goal is to purchase 15 units in the next 5 years, and produce a cash flow of $20k per month within the next 10 years.
