The cheap stuff is just as durable as expensive grades I've found.  

You are getting economies of scale.

I don't think that kinda software is going to be very affordable for a small scale developer (as most rehabbers are).The engineering company I work for uses a product called Premavera.

What you want to look for is called a Roomless elevator system. this way you wont need to waste space in your home with a small room dedicated to the equipment. these elevators are a smaller scale of what you see at the malls in the middle of the food courts (like the woodlands mall).

Both matter, and you don't have to choose between one or the otherPercentage is a more valuable metric than raw volume, however because the average cost of living is (on scale) the same for everyone as you go towards larger volumes of money then the percentage seems less important.

I'm definitely open to it but don't know where to start without the "hands on" aspect but I see learning those skills and strategies being valuable as I scale and expand!

A syndication is fundamentally the same thing Fundrise is doing at a different scale.

The higher grade 12mm LVP (in a nice neutral color) should last a long time though so perhaps paying up front for that installed is better. 

I was just addressing @Raj Kumar's dilemma of trying to scale and do more deals with limited funds.

I drew this pretty quick. it's not to scale.
