Is it a strong market for appreciation and large scale MF deals?

My second is not the ideal and best choice but doable with the type of area you work with which is self installation.New hot water tanks are about $400-$900 depending on the need for the client plus any pipe adapters for the tank if needed as well as paste or tape for sealing the utility pipes. the package include instruction about installation which was not bad out of a 5 point scale of difficulties i give it a 2.5 or 3.

You'll still have to do taxes every year, bookkeeping, an annual reevaluation of your portfolio, hire a small staff as you scale, etc.  

Institutional and foreign money is still flowing into gateway cities, because of the scale, in NYC, you could spend 500m with out effecting the market.My persoanl goal is cashflow and cash preservation.  

I knew that Holton-Wise needed to implement some of what you were doing to really scale.

I'll be trying this on a much smaller scale, just starting out and doing it on the side. 

REI is much easier and profitable with scale.

Will the practice get in the way of scaling up?

Take advantage of economy of scale by doing a bunch off-site, shipping them in to be assembled and connected to utilities, and you're ready to go.

The pictures may be off a little bit on scale, cause when I'm actually standing in the space, it feels more crowded to me than maybe it looks in the drawing.
