The five of us are all 25 and are doing this together to scale as quickly as possible.  

So many people wandering in here with the plan to scale up and are totally unprepared for when they have to scale down rapidly.

I studied REI for around 6 months then scaled to 91 units within a year. 

Let us know if you want to do any more projects at a bigger scale.

If I started with 1, I would need to scale to 10 before I could quit my current job and replace my current salary ($3,000 cash flow).  

You’ll find it will allow you to scale much faster.

To make a long story short I would like to utilize private investors/lenders to gain capital faster to scale my business faster.

The BRRRR method is appealing because it allows one to scale quickly by purchasing a home in cash, rehabbing it to build equity/force appreciation, and refinancing after a season period of 4-6 months at ~75% LTV of the finished home to allow you pull your capital out of the deal to roll into another property.

People read a newspaper article and suddenly they are short term rental crazy want to scale up as soon as possible know 10% of what matters read some forums and are suddenly convinced they are in the right field to get rich. at some point in the not-too-distant future, a reckoning is coming in the short term rental space that will be breathtaking.

Put it into the world and see what happens...I want to scale up into an apartment building or small complex this year -- like 18-24 units.
