Scaling Without Overleveraging — What’s Worked for You?

[Tracy Thielman]

As portfolios grow, how are investors balancing leverage with risk? Interested in strategies others have used to scale responsibly.

[Greg Scott]

I have a fairly simple metric.  It must have cashflow.

I just look for deals that will cashflow, ideally at max leverage the bank will allow.  And, I know that following that metric blindly will push people to buy deals in bad parts of town that look like they will cashflow but actually don't.  I stay away from the bad parts of town and am looking for true net cashflow.
