For those who buy rentals regularly what's become your biggest bottleneck?

Question

I've been talking with a lot of investors lately, and it's interesting how everyone's biggest challenge seems to be different.

For some, it's finding deals.

For others, it's insurance costs, construction timelines, managing contractors, refinancing, or simply finding enough time to keep growing.

If you're actively buying rentals today, what's been your biggest bottleneck this year?

Has it changed compared to a few years ago, or is it the same challenge you've always dealt with?

I'm curious to hear what other investors are experiencing in different markets.

If I had an unlimited pool of second position lenders who would lend 10k - 20k at 15% in second position behind the long term bank loan with interest deferred payment for 36 months then I could probably purchase and keep 30 properties a year. I would say the capital I need to keep into deals that are leveraged at 75% with a DSCR loan is my bottleneck and if I was able to leverage up to 80% with second position notes then that would solve that bottleneck.
