You want to buy at a 2 times multiple so if the business is asking 200,000 then they have 100,000 gross profit after expenses.You go in and put 40 to 50% down and get the seller to hold a note for the rest.You want to look for businesses ( at least I do ) that have the scale to be an absentee owner.

Stick with the plan but don't forget to scale it depending on how many properties you have, you wouldn't want to over whelm one person, or under whelm 4 people.

There is a large DFW contingent here.Would love to hear how you scaled your business to being a full time flipper.

It's all paid at the end, so you aren't sweating a big monthly payment like you would be with a HML.Crowd funding also scales well. 

It's a little nerve racking for me to give up control of those phone calls because if your VA doesn't do a good job you could potentially lose a deal from that lead that you spent money on.However, if I want to grow my business I'm learning that I need to be able to give up control so that I can scale. 

Over the years, I have been working part time managing a small volume of single family properties and decided to focus on this business full time.Since I really can't afford to go an extended period of time without income as I ramp up my business, I am considering investing in a franchise where I can utilize proven methods that can support a business that can scale up in volume.I would love to build some relationships in the industry and network locally in Atlanta as well.I welcome any feedback on my plan mentioned above, the value you place on outsourcing this service, guidance on growing the business and anything else relevant to property management.Wow. 

My goal is to transition from my Day Job into a "volume" business in notes--brokering, investing for my own account, raising "friends and family" money alongside my own to scale the business--and you can't exactly do that if you have to visit the nuts and bolts of every property.What are the expectations that you have, think you have or may have heard in regards to the amount or level of return one can expect?

With the world moving towards becoming more energy conscious and renovating homes for the future of our cities, does it make sense financially and logistically (time scales) to build more innovative homes with a focus on energy independence and less waste?
