My goal is to make the complex readily scalable so that I can take on more properties to manage.

In regards to the other suggestion about direct mail, I am actually working on a business plan that will implement the direct mail strategy and ideally will be a system that is not only sustainable, but will be scalable and reliable as well. 

Even without flipping, that's what I'm mostly looking for, but I hadn't thought about the end game being a larger MF to really benefit from the scalability of them.

My vote:Figure it out, map it out, write it out, then source it out.You sound pretty bright and your time is best applied to profitable, scalable activities.

It's a great learning experience but not sustainable or scalable long term especially with a 9-5 job, family, and other obligations. 

I completely understand the scalability issue though.

The syndications as an LP make less returns but it’s more of scalability issue.

When it comes to building a scalable business, I have seen that sometimes it is very helpful to have the GC in house.

It seems counter-intuitive and may be counter-intuitive, but if you think about building a scalable business model, this is one way to force that.

Its working great for us this way. 17 checking accounts sounds like a recipe for headaches, and how scalable is it?
