In a nut shell, BP is helping me grow closer to my REI goals and its priced under 300 bucks.  

A laundromat is certainly much easier to sell than a bakery or a real estate brokerage...The real magic happens when you combine both (biz and REI), one to generate cash, the other to invest, grow and tax shelter.

It's a little remote, however, the community seems to be new and growing and there are other houses and developments going up near by.

Antioch is a growing market with strong rental demand and opportunities for appreciation.

This is a great area with plenty of opportunities to grow as an investor.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about deals, strategies, or just connect with other local investors.

I'm a leader, not a boss, but they see and hear far more than I do so I'd be an idiot not to listen to my team.I think as you grow and expand, you too will do the same whether as a Transactional Lender or anything else you do. 

The primary advantage is the tax-deferred or tax-free growth—like other IRAs, any profits from real estate investments grow without immediate tax consequences, which can significantly boost your retirement savings over time.

As I look to grow, I’m considering joining a coaching/mentorship program like Partner Driven or something similar.

Also, What do you consider growing to a moderate size?

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.
