My name and history of performance means more to me on a large scale than any one deal and as such, any deal I offer must meet my standards to begin with or it gets passed by.

That would be one of the downsides I could see to that model versus using contractor crews.At least you know your partner will show up which is a bonus.Great pics and you guys did a really nice rehab.If you can scale this model up is the big question.

Whether I could sell it retail or to new investors at that time and still get my full initial CapEx out of the house.I'm only 25, so I would more than likely be holding these for 30-40++ years as there would be no reason for me to let them go as the rents will scale with inflation (and neighborhood appreciation) and I just live off the passive income.It would be a very large hit to my current 'day job' income even with 30-40 houses under my portfolio, but if it would leave me free to not have to work... then may be worth it.

And I'm quite certain a PM business is easily scalable if you know how to do it.What specific types of scaling issues are you having?

ask local investors about reputable contractors. you should have a rough idea on labor costs with the scale of the rehab and condition of the house.

They say maybe 1 to 2 years.I say give it a few more years and you will hit burn out if you don't scale back.A few years later they have left the business all together,scaled back and pace themselves,or are still teetering on burnout and are divorced,etc. with their life in shambles.My Uncle invented the Goof-Off cleaner.Became wealthy and then went through a really nasty divorce and money and power got to him for about 10 years after that.As he got older he finally changed and realized money wasn't everything just the experiences and memories in life that you cherish.Don't be a slave to money.Use it as a vehicle to reach your dreams in life but don't worship it because the true things you value will be gone if you do.

I'd love to do those types of deals on a larger scale.

They seem to lean toward the lower end of the scale to get the property rented quickly. a case in point is my recent experience.

I would just like to scale my operations, it'd be difficult for me to drive out to that area if it was just to take care of a 100K home.

Even if it is just one deal, I mean from a scale 1-10 how riskie is it just doing it for even a couple of deals to start??
