So now it's no longer just theory, it's scaling. 

But if you’re unsure about compliance or plan to scale your real estate portfolio, I’d recommend consulting a CPA or attorney to avoid costly mistakes.

My team and I manage 100+ investment properties, mostly Airbnb / STR, and we work with investors to complete 1031 exchanges, scale their portfolios, and invest in creative rental models.I started young with no help, the learning curve is steep and yes some people won't take you seriously, but if you assert yourself and really learn the content, you will earn respect.I'd love to learn more about your career ambitions.

It will depend on what your goals are, but if you'd like to scale fast, you could leverage the $100k cash to buy 2 or 3 duplexes in lower priced markets that have higher rent/price ratios.You could use these properties to learn the ins-outs of OOS investing and use these to build your network and confidence in the market.

At a high level, this is generally the path people take - we see a lot of people have success in this route - start building the portfolio with banks, low down payments, and then **generally** when you hit around 5 or so properties - it starts to make sense to switch over to LLCs, its too hard to qualify/deal with paperwork of banks and switch towards private lenders like DSCR Loans - (LLC friendly, easier) to scale past 5 or so.

If you plan to scale at all, I recommend QBO.

Even small-scale operations like beekeeping, organic farming, or growing specialty crops (e.g., lavender, hemp, etc.) can generate income.Hunting Leases: If the land has good wildlife, you could lease it to hunters during the appropriate seasons.

I am focused on small-multi fam (selling, buying, scaling).

As you move up the scale to higher prices, you get more benefits/services.  

Starting small and scaling up is a tried-and-true path, and this community is filled with people who’ve walked that road and are eager to share their experiences.Feel free to ask questions, share your wins (and challenges), and tap into the collective knowledge here.
