Me being a professional over thinker can confidently say… find something that makes sense and go for it, trust the process.I like BRRR, 18months ago We traveled to atlanta, toured like 3 properties and made an offer…. didn’t went trough… but the owner had another house, a dumpster in sw atlanta, close to US 41 in an up and coming place… fair price and enough upside….We bought it and I’ve been re building it up the last 15 months….Didn’t made us rich, but i got my feet wet and learned a TON now i discovered MTR and chose that route, looking to scale the business

I also echo what @Craig Garrow says, build your agent business and you will have the proper resources to scale your investment business.

If you have a 2-4 door property you really don't have scale and but you still have the hassles of tenants sharing walls.

Period.However, every business that’s scaled has systems in place.

personally I only think this works with scale  ie 25 to 50 units.. not one.. he would be better off just investing in a REIT or syndication or something like that.. these are do it yourself type deals that from my vantage point make zero sense for them and you.. 

@Jordan Moorhead Scaling up!

This makes scaling a lot easier.

There is no housing crisis on a large scale....people just don't get to live exactly where they want to.

It just stops when NOI hits $0.Another key is that you must use the vehicle 100% for business use, otherwise you have to get involved with complicated formulas to book income in the years in which the vehicle was not used 100%.Moral of the story - unless you are running a full scale enterprise and can afford two vehicles, one in which you use 100% for business, stick with leasing or mileage tracking.

WRT inflation and interest rates going up, I think that will push buyers down the price scale, as most people budget based on the monthly payment, but I don't think that will change the fundamentals driving people to come to Austin (whether that's 50/day or 100/day).
