It is a learning curve but if you are a fast learner, coachable and can lead and delegate a team it can grow and scale fast.

Smaller deals generally offer better CAP rates but are harder to scale. 

It’s simply a matter of generating motivated seller leads at scale, building a team to handle the lead and deal flow and build a buyers list to move the deals.  

As you scale, you'll care less and less about liking prospects.

Our background is in single family rentals, so this is the same kind of deals were used to doing just on a bigger scale.

Can you do a much smaller scale rehab?

Hmm I guess it could be unethical, but if it's a clean deal and the agent know's it'll close quickly, I could see it being more advantageous to a distressed home owner as well.Yeah an extra $5k doesn't exactly move the scale for someone making that kind of money.

She used to handle properties in the area, but only does so on a small scale so it would be informal, but just for record keeping.   

I'm having a tough time finding someone to take on a job of this scale since it's so small, and likely only a day of work.

Most of those coaching programs are primarily designed to help scale a business up and put systems in place but can be a little too much too soon when just starting out.
