I do like the idea of working with them for a series of reasons (scale, financing, discounts etc)

Hey everyone,I am looking to scale my rental portfolio out of state.

I am curius as to what the minimum amount of lots you recommmend before economies of scale make sense. is 33 too small, even for a newbie?

@Audra Luther I'd be very careful to sell a property in a nice market in Oregon and buying in a "cashflow" market. 80K won't allow you to get much scale, which is what you need in order to be successful and have consistent cash flow in those types of market.

The issue you have as you scale is that these are not designed for business use, and if they flag you as a business they will shut you down pretty quickly. 

Unless you want to scale to five or ten units OOS within two to three years, you will not be making much money.

If you are having success with wholesaling focus on that and scale it.  

@Tamer Shalaby I’m currently evaluating where I would like to target when I scale my multi family investing and found this Joe Fairless blog to be very helpful https://joefairless.com/ultimate-guide-selecting-target-real-estate-market/

Major finds during due diligence such as large scale mechanical issues or underlying financial issues within the deal is ok.Major and not obvious.

For me, keeping the cash flow and scaling is the goal.
