Has being a lender proven scalable, more profitable, or given you a better quality of life over rehabbing or owning rental property? 

My knee-jerk reaction is like others "nope", but then take a minute and think on it, because it's realized this is the tenant sharing a problem at the property, and ask what results that could make. 6' fence is fairly tall as is, so issue isn't height, it's that it's so easily scalable.

Creating systems and processes, hiring the right people who are a good fit for your organization, and keeping a finger on the pulse of your business will lead to an operation that is scalable and successful.It's important to remember to build a business that fits into your life, rather than building your life to fit around your business.

As you start closing deals, you will need to reinvest your profits into mailing lists and other scalable activities to grow your business.

Ultimately, you need to learn process, procedure, scalability, technology application, and logistics, along with the law. 

Also, something you should ask yourself is how scalable is buying single-family rentals? 

If not, investing in your own properties might be a better fit for you.I personally don't think arbitrage is scalable in LA because most cities don't allow STRs.

You could join up under an investor agent here in the area, and get the "Mentorship" that way, but your income and scalability would be much bigger. 

try that on the average persona and average investor  going to be next to impossible to talk someone into this Yep, that's what I said in my post, great idea but takes highly scalable resources to make it happen
