I’m pivoting from a messy, scattered bird dog to a highly focused wholesaler.The Spark: Ben Mallah and the Failed Bird Dog StrategyMy journey into real estate started with a single, major inspiration: Ben Mallah.

My notes are scattered but there were a bunch of reasons why they were a better option.

.- Organizing scopes of work from inspection reports or scattered notes about items that need updating in a rental or rehab.- Negotiation support — asking it to re-write an email or text using Chris Voss’s techniques from Never Split the Difference.- Identifying potential risks I might be overlooking.

Moving Into Larger UnitsMany investors shift to 8–20 unit small apartment buildings because one roof + one set of systems = less management chaos than 10 scattered houses.Economies of scale kick in fast: one lawncare contract, one plumber, one set of utilities.5.

My apologies for the scatter-brained writing, trying to keep it concise as I know if you are reading this you understand the value of your time.

The challenge with rural scattered sites is exactly what you said — local banks hit their cap quick, and big banks don’t step in.

The community also has parks and outdoor activities scattered throughout including a country club and access to Rock Creek Park.

I wouldn't recommend land flipping as a business plan unless you are very specialized and have end buyers and are doing large institutional tracts of land  AS I said in another post on this thread.. while there are a lot of folks trying this there are those that do very well and I fund a few that do very well on scattered parcels.

One strict rule you only have to break once is: “NEVER OPEN THE FRIDGE.”Some things just can’t be unseen (or unsmelled).Separately, has anyone ever noticed how much loose change you find scattered around in foreclosures?

Plus and I am sure RTR is aware of this.. but how can ANY builder take on 50 100 build jobs on scattered lots ?
