Zillow + Amazon merger would create some ripples!!

My plan is to BRRRR my first house in NOVA, and scale to more and more houses!

There are entities which are built to scale with investors - such as the Series LLC - so once you get a system down it is just a small cost to add additional assets to your asset protection plan.

Old lead bends, rotted galvanized steel, cast iron jam packed with scale build up, valves that don't seat anymore, lead water mains.

At that point if they did want to steal them they would have to draft up a clean set, and depending on the scale of the project find some architect to review and then stamp them for a fee (I don't know many architects who enjoy this sort of thing but people have rent to pay). 

Note:1) We cannot renovate the house to more than two units because of zoning laws.2) We're looking for a short term boost in rent to just feel that this whole thing renting this is possible.3) We're looking for a scaling strategy to get as many properties as possible.

Starting out with your first rental allows you more flexibility, the more units you scale it would be wise to have a more thorough and consistent process.Cash:  Most people will advise against cash because it's hard to track and inconvenient.  11% of American's don't have bank accounts though, sometimes this might be your only option. 

I know that partnerships are a way to scale faster, but they also carry a certain amount of risk. 

No way to scale with no money.  

Some residual cash (prefer not to use any more of my own money or at least minimal), trying to scale up .
