I am trying to figure out how to scale efficiently.

However Is is scale-able ? 

On a macro scale, how will that impact interest rates if china starts buying less American dollars?

This site has already proved to be a great resource as we scale up @Viso Ventures LLC . 

Tried farming on a very small scale, only 35 acres for a little hay for horses. 

You may be a true expert on medevial history and you won't make as much money as a junior software engineer right out of college.At the other end of the scale if you have money there are lots of ways to invest that money so it will generate returns without you having to put in any effort.Real estate investment options are usually somewhere in between.

It gives you a pad later if you decide to step out of the day to day management or if you scale to the point to where you can no longer manage yourself.

The positive is you have diversification but the negative is you have scaling issues, you are an active versus passive investor, and you will work harder for yield.I think you should talk to a few people and weigh the different avenues.

Their is a very tiered scale to membership, but I'm just wondering if there is any benefit to being a member to DigOnline.org, if I already attend their Meetup's here in Philadelphia and the surrounding area and I'm already a member of BiggerPockets, which seems to have a more functional website, better resources and greater networking reach. 

@Felicia Gordon On a scale of 1-10... how would you rate yourself on common sense?
