Easy way to scale as we put 5 - 10% down, upgrade primary residences each year, and avoid the costly 20% down payment typically required How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

In addition, if you quit your W2 that means you are likely using your real estate profits to pay for your living expenses, and that makes it really tough to scale the business.

The first deals are slow, painfully slow, and then if you treat people right and keep consistently working, you end up with more opportunities than you can juggle without scaling up.

I mean sure it deals with landlord & tenant issues, but commercial real estate is more fitting due to its scale/size.Just a suggestion. 

I mean if your looking to scale or do more than the odd one a year.here is what I learned when doing this.. 

To date, I’ve built 4 SFH’s to rent (TN, ATL, JAX) and I’m happy with the returns but I want to move the needle on a larger scale soon.

I'm working towards scaling up my business in Arizona, the most competitive market in the country.

I want to make sure we've considered all angles and we start off on the right foot to be able to scale in a mutually beneficial way and not have to come back to the table on these foundation level issues. 

I always had SFR and duplex's previously-and still have 2 duplexes.Having 12 units under one roof gives you much better economies of scale-I increased the rents and improved the units as tenants moved out and now have the confidence and experience to tackle 30 units at this point.

We are aiming to scale higher, and are now actively pursuing smaller apartment buildings (20-50 units).
