I will say, although I started my real estate investing journey with furnished short/mid term rentals, if you want to scale, long term unfurnished is likely the best way to go.

I would just say that before you go full scale, get an attorney to order a full title search and do a proper review. 

I haven't found many folks who have had success with it yet, especially at any scale. 

Below are strategies to help scale a real estate business effectively:1.

A degree will open doors to a higher paying W2 allowing you to get higher loan amounts to continue to scale. 

I did this for a few years and then I started to scale.

Start small and scale up gradually as you gain experience and capital.Don't discount tax savings from rental while building your portfolio.

I am seeing more and more investors vertically integrate as they scale without adding any additional human capital.

The BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) can help scale faster.

You’re already familiar with the BRRRR method, and scaling up to a 20+ unit property can provide economies of scale and potentially higher returns.Acquisitions, on the other hand, are like BRRRR for businesses buying underperforming businesses, improving them, and reaping the profits.
