That being said, I'm now looking to house hack a 2-4 unit property because that will give me better scale and I'll be able to live rent free rather than sinking thousands into some SF landlord apt owners pocket each month.

Many investors will use grades interchangeably between them, but the reality is they are separate.It is possible to have what you might call an "A" grade property (however you define that) located within a "B" grade neighborhood. 

In addition to the BP podcast, I also like Justin William's House Flipping HQ (he's all about systems and scaling and goes into details with his guests) & the Real Estate Guys (more macro and across different disciplines of investing).On the non-REI side, I loved Serial (can't WAIT for season 2), Sword & Scale, How Stuff Works (learn SOOO much), Throwing Shade (so funny), some NPR and running podcasts (to stay motivated and keep learning!). 

It's not scalable unless you are also scaling your AGI.

We have our go to grading contractor who we've used in the past assess the situation.

Here's our dilemma:What do we do with the other 2 spaces (currently low-grade industrial/ warehouse) spaces and how "well" do we renovate them? 

Hi everyone, I'm a begining investor, starting to build a wholesale business (1-2 / month) to begin generating cash flow and build capital, then scale up from there, possibly moving into flipping a/or buy and hold rental properties once I have some reserve capital. 

I don't think there is a way to make money on small-scale utilizing PMs.

@John Mason Wallace as a builder, with a fee factored into the cost, for a project like yours...l would be around $110-$125 depending on grade of finishes you wanted.

I did the math on this in my market and that would be quite difficult with construction prices today ( in my market at least) However I do think you could make a really good profit if you were to scale that by purchasing a larger piece of land and developing a neighborhood if that is an option for you.
