Hey everyone, A friend and I are looking to begin investing in rental properties, starting with 1-2 properties this year and scaling upwards from there. 

Go to Craigslist and find some wholesalers/manufacturers in your area. 

I’m planning to acquire more properties, and I want something that I can scale.

Through a family member I have been put in contact with an older couple in their upper 70's who hold 18 manufactured homes with their land who are ready to move on.

I have never been one to do things on a small scale and some would call me impatient so I hope that doesn't hinder my success at this.

With that said, we are mentally struggling with how to "scale" the business from a financing standpoint.We have 200k to work with in cash and a 100k in a HELOC as a fallback.

(Not "manufactured" homes.)Modular homes are built on foundations, with various "modules" brought in on trucks, and generally look like ranch style homes.  

Tying your entire $45,000 on one property is probably not your best avenue if your looking to scale your buy and hold portfolio.

Is that taking the assumption that rehabbers don't have enough reasonably priced funding or is it that an equity partner can get them in better deals, better methods to scale up, better ?

Thank YouBTW I enjoyed your Podcast (especially arguing with Josh) and am pretty impress how quickly your business has scaled!
