I don't currently work with any large scale investors, just a solid group of investors from my previous career of being a financial adviser.

I believe I kept warning folks here and elsewhere if you elect this clown.....be ready for Chicago style politics on the national scale.

Called the same lender and had a lengthy conversation about scaling up and etc. and requested a prequal letter. 

The host pulls out all the stops and makes sure the guest has a great experience, but the host does nearly everything themselves and never looks to scale.3) The 'drag and drop' investor - Looks at Airbnb solely through the lense of generating cash flow and scales the portfolio through a management company and using the same Amazon products at all the rentals.

I have done what you describe,  but on a smaller scale. 

Awesome story, Bobby, sounds like you've been able to take advantage of 1031 exchanges and scaling up.

Ideal target is multifamily (scale to be determined), but we're open to other property types as well.  

Initially our tenant will be living above us, so this won't necessarily be an issue at first, but we'd like to setup a system now that scales as we purchase future properties.After doing some research on where to keep funds, it looks like the common response is to either keep them in either an interest-bearing savings account, checking account, CD, etc. and largely to keep the funds liquid, so you can access them on demand. 

It just seems that majority, if not all of the highly successful individuals in the RE game, ended up partnering up with folks to scale up their business.

It's tough to scale and I'm stuck in it.
