Unless you have a giant pile of cash or a partner that does, you're just not getting to 50-100 doors within 3-5 years. 

It’s a unique setup: 100% master-leased to a corporate tenant (Sober Living) for 3 years.The Numbers:Purchase: ~$640kTenant pays all utilities/maintenance (NNN-Lite).DSCR is strong (>1.35), so financing is straightforward.Projecting ~11% CoC return.I'm planning to bring in a capital partner for the EMD/Down Payment ($185k total).My Question for the group: For those who have done corporate-backed JV deals, do you typically stick to a straight 50/50 equity split, or do you offer a preferred return?

The main challenges are staying compliant with two sets of laws and managing your time between markets.Many dual-licensed agents rely on a strong local team or referral partners in the state they are not physically present in.

Quote from @Michael Nguyen: I recently started a real-estate business with two partners and friends.

For those who have scaled using CFDs or subject-to deals:Are you partnering with others to grow faster?

My focus is on investor acquisitions, new construction, rentals, and property management support across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Alva, and Naples.I close over 40 transactions a year with $45M+ in volume, and I assist many long-distance investors needing a reliable local partner.

One thing that helps is connecting with local investors, property managers, and lenders early to validate ideas and find partners.

I'm thinking about brining on a family friend as a business partner to split the work and bring additional capital, but I don't necessarily need them...This is obviously a big ask on a first time house hack, but would love to hear if anyone has ever heard of people successfully executing this strategy?

You don't need partners, coaches, fast acceleration, etc.

These strategies will allow me to build some capital and experience, eventually partnering with other investors to own properties and generate true passive income.If anyone is willing to help — whether through wholesaling, bird-dogging, or even partnering with me on my first deal — I would be incredibly grateful.
