Best way to scale a fix and flip operation in 2025 is to build yourself a time machine and go back about 10 years.

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

Not sure on the building size or whether it has a flat roof, but I paid over $80K to get a 10k sq ft flat roof done back in 2021, with quotes as hight as $120K.Hope this helps, good luck!

I’m looking for small multi-family homes in the $150k-$250k range, focusing on property appreciation with minimal cash flow to build reserves.I’ve been considering areas like Fishtown, Somerton, Roxborough, Haverford, Conshohocken, West Norriton, Upper Darby, Lansdale, and Abington.

Nate, you are going to build a lot of wealth.

I assume a higher upfront cost as far as land purchase and the actual build but you would have a brand new house, instant equity and hopefully maintenance free for quite a while.

This is the reason homes are so much cheaper than cost to build.

If you can buy a house with a small cash flow and there is room to build a duplex on the back of the lot, then you get free dirt. 

And, not confident of the earnings/industry in the area to feel good about LTR.
