Quote from @Kelly Schroeder: The biggest challenges on scaling flipping are quality control with contractors for example getting the vanity light straight and centered with the vanity sink.

All other things being equal, more units beats fewer units.A four plex gives you three other tenants paying the mortgage, instead of just one.If you're set on a duplex style approach, look for a situation where there are two homes on one lot.

Business credit is a tool many successful investors use—it’s not a gimmick, and it’s certainly not ‘guru’ nonsense.I haven’t attacked anyone’s credibility, but I have challenged misinformation.

That being said, keeping contractors on-task is the biggest challenge.

Many investors and realtors believe their biggest challenge is knowing the real estate market, keeping up with trends, or having all the answers for their clients.

Great question, accuracy is one of the biggest challenges in tenant screening today.

I am looking for advise on how to use the equity I have in my rental properties to grow my portfolio. I have two LTRs with conventional loans with $90k in equity each. I would like to use the money for a down payment ...

Challenges?

What strategies worked, and what challenges did you face?

Quote from @Ed Furst: @Drew Sygit Hey Drew, my partner is originally from the Detroit area and was previously aware of Sanborn Construction, a construction company building tons of properties in the Pontiac area I don't think they are building new construction in Pontiac, but are renovating properties investors purchase.In our opinion, Pontiac would be VERY challenging to build new and sell for a profit.
