How does a beginning investor scale with small capital?

[Josh Middendorf]

I am a new investor located around the St. Louis Area. I Currently am in the process of my first deal which is a fix and flip. My expected ROI is $35,000, I am looking for advice from experienced investors who have scaled there portfolio using small amounts of capital. I am currently planning on doing a 1031 exchange with the gained capital and investing into a rental property using an FHA loan.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

You should leverage your ROI to increase the volume at which you operate at. You can partner with a capital provider, utilize your ROI and other savings for a down payment, and have them finance the rest of the purchase price and rehab budget. Some lenders finance 100% of your rehab budget. That way, when you gain access to more returns, you can run multiple projects at the same time.
