I have been investing in real estate for a little over 2 years and have not been able to scale the way I want to due to the fact that I never was able to generate enough “good” leads to keep the money flowing.

I would like to plan my start for scaling (thinking of starting out with an owner occupied 2+ units to give a bit of experience owning and being a landlord.

I'm open to any advice and would love to connect with people here to build a solid team and eventually scale. 

I'm only vested in getting free coffee from you @Michael Plaks.Generally cost segregations do not tip the scale in favor or not of a 1031 exchange. 

@Chris Watkins and I also teach a "New Investor Series", our third class for how to scale up to multiple properties is in November.

All my systems work together so my owning has higher returns the more I expand my co-hosting as I am vertically scaling. 

You have to reach incredible scale to obtain the efficiencies to make it financially worthwhile.

AND I just finished "Scaling Smart" by the Fettke's a couple of weeks ago.

That means reading as many real estate books as you can, listen to an endless amount of podcasts, attend as many meetups you can, and try to find a mentor by finding someone doing what you want to do at a large scale and provide them value (expecting nothing in return).
