@Joshua Ryan Meador if you do not have sales experience, having a large sum of cash in the bank will make your transition to real estate a little smoother. 

Since this requires more money, I have about 10 people committed to put up 100k (1 mil total), to invest in 1 large or several small projects (goal is mostly to build a collection of rental properties).  

@Shital Thakkar @Eric James I appreciate the input, and think this gets largely glossed over in the majority of  discussions here.

Learn from my mistakesEverything around it are homes on very large lots and those homes are not MH's. 

The plan is to maintain for two years pay off a large percentage of the debt then repeat the process.

As you start adding rentals to your portfolio, you want to make sure each property is contributing to positive cash flow if you want to scale up.

Hi Shauntice,I live in PG county and I’m focused on flipping in the PG county and DC area until I’m ready to move on to large multi family.

Make sure you introduce yourself to a few people every week to grow your network.I'm with @Ryan Swan on the cashflow challenge with small size real estate and would recommend scaling even higher right from the get-go since the numbers don't work very well in our experience before you hit the min. 65 unit mark (been there, done that).Send me a PM should you be interested in learning by doing mid-size multifamily apartment investing.

I once took over an apartment building that was managed by a somewhat large property management company and they had a "national rate" (even though they aren't national) that was far lower than what I pay. 

To close 300 plus properties would take enormous staff and help and would severely eat into commission return before taxes.I am more about earning large pops of income thereby giving me more time to enjoy life.
