Whether you're flipping your first property or scaling your rental portfolio, understanding your funding options is key to closing deals confidently.

Start small with new counterparts, perform, then scale.

For a lot of investors, the “tipping point” to go after a second property often comes when the first property is running smoothly with positive cash flow and your property manager is handling day-to-day operations reliably, which gives you confidence to scale without burning out.

Curious, are you planning to keep scaling single-family or looking at small multifamily next? 

Start by building a solid team of property managers, contractors, and reliable deal sources, and run your numbers carefully to protect cash flow while scaling.

Worry less about "Scaling" and more about learning how to be profitable.

It's about systems and scale.

I'm on Baselane now and I'm at a similar scale to you, @Sabian Ripplinger!

@Case Mccarthy great question, Depends on the competitive environment, The average age in Maine is like 45... so we can't find many people to mow lawns and decided to keep it in house. also the margins at scale work out for both the owner and the management company. we do the same with snow removal
