Shiller emphasizes 2 things that are required to be an efficient market: the equal availability of new relevant information and the ability to directly bet or  hedge against market movements.The ability to bet against housing is there via CDO's and maybe other investment vehicles I don't know about, but I don't think the scale is large enough to compare to the affect shorting has on the stock market.

We had success rather quickly.After several months of this structure, we sat down together to plan more for the future and scale of our business.

I would be very interested in this info also, and in gross terms, not percentages so you can scale to rent levels.

Hi Ryan,For Mold Remediation, it is hard to scale unless you open up the walls like you said.

I realize this model doesn't scale very well beyond more than a few houses at a time, and only a handful per year, but at this point in my life, I'm ok with that. 

Haha I love the idea of starting out with something smaller (manufactured home) and then scaling up once you figure out the process.

It's much harder to find things that cash flow here than they might be in other segments of the country, but the underlying demographic changes (population and job growth) make it extremely appealing on a 10-20 year time scale, even if we don't see the gains (highly unlikely) that we've experienced over the last 7-10 years.

My partner and I were looking to scale up and found two 4-plexes right next to each other for sale by the same owner.

There are a number of strategies out there but one I often hear about doing well is the BRRRR method where you Buy Renovate Rent Refinance and Repeat it creates equity and cash flow for you at the same time while also allowing you to invest in better neighborhoods which have better tenants in which you can safely scale up and expand your portfolio But ultimately the deal is in the numbers so the better you are at analyzing deals the easier it will be for you know when you have found a good deal so practice analyzing as much as you can to sharpen your skills because even as a wholesaler your deal analyzing skills must be up to par because your selling your deals to investors who do this on a regular basis hope this helps 

I personally am scaling back on marketing and acquisition
