I ran a manufacturing company for most of my life, employing many blue collar folks and competing with imports along the way.All the BS about the stock market tanking changed course real quick when it opened up, and continues today.

As you go up in price from there, you get a little more in rent but it doesn't scale 1:1 and you quickly start to lose returns.

It's hard to make money and projections on a sliding scale of rehab costs.  

(I use some other services to do this; but it wouldn't work on a "mass scale")(3)  (1) & (2) are very interesting and make a lot of sense.  

Do you want to grow a large portfolio while you are active duty Navy, do you want to continue to scale up to build cash flow to live off of now???? 

Where do i begin, how long of a term should I make it for, can i do a small scale NNN lease to take the sting off of the water and sewer bill, the insurance, property ta etc.  

I'm closing on my first property at the end of the month, and looking forward to acquiring more, but curious about how to scale.

By doing so, you will continue towards your economy of scale more positive cash flows over time add up to purchasing power for other properties.

I am a manufacturers sales rep and graduated CSU.I don't have any REI experience but looking forward to being an investor.

It is essential that you figure out how to manage your income and expenses before you invest, not only because this is how you can save up the initial seed capital to invest but also because investing in real estate is nothing more than analyzing and managing income and expenses, only done over a long period of time (for buy and hold) and done on a larger scale with leverage.
