Hi @Danny Randazzo,This is on a much smaller-scale than what ya'll do at Passive, but on a deal I was able to build a relationship with the seller throughout the course of negotiations.

then you need to scale big time and change your profession to landlord full time and scale it and run it like a business hands on daily.

Again, find the lender you feel comfortable with, establish a relationship and agree to a rate/terms.Rates are based on a scale. 

Of course, doing this type of work will save money at first, but if you are trying to scale, you want to focus your time and energy elsewhere. 

In reality it does not scale very well, and is probably closer to a fixed cost.  

This is on a bigger scale and it’s your company.

It interrupts the flow in a larger scale operation, but probably wouldn't be an issue otherwise.Overall it is a little inconvenient, but otherwise no problems that would tell you not to work with them.

I believe anyone can invest in any market and make money but it's that risk tolerance aspect of it that tends to tip the scale on a particular location. 

Should you want to scale more quickly with less risk and leverage, the best option would be to house hack the next property as it will be easy to get the financing and based on your post it seems it could also enable you to save more, as I assume you’re currently renting, because someone else will be paying a part of your mortgage.

I am trying to scale my business up and not spend all my cash on one property, but instead use 20% for down payment and finance multiple properties.
