This means with my numbers it will be cash negative.how will this help you scale to 3 to 4 deals a year to get to 20 deals?  

Part of the reason coastal values haven't quite scaled to heights of neighboring states is the remoteness and lack of winter sports and high end amenities and entertainment, but that doesn't mean trophy estates, ranches and homes don't exist.

It's stopping me from scaling to a much larger portfolio leveraged versus a smaller paid off portfolio.  

But if your goal is to cashflow positive from the Day 1, you may find it very challenging due to current day interest rates, high cost of construction and the fact you won't have the efficiencies of a seasoned developer building at scale.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

My advice would be to start small with your first deals to gain experience before scaling up.

Gradually scale by researching high-growth markets, partnering with experienced investors, and exploring financing options like SBA loans.
