That’s not necessarily bad — multifamily shines in scale and stability, not speed.

@Basit Siddiqi2 and 3 from your list: 100%Regions and dedication to running investments is a scale issue. 

Once comfortable, you can scale into multi-family or additional properties.

Are you thinking of scaling up or just focusing on locking this one in first?

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $150,000 Sale price: $300,000 did a lot of things I normally never would because of potential upside What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

As a smaller, self-managed landlord I think solutions that offer that kind of scheduling/logistics framework are solving for one of the most long-standing self-managed challenges we've had for years: how to scale and systematize operations when you're are landlord or PM out there hustling for your next deal. 

Just wanted ideas about how any experienced investor would recommend to go about investing this with the goal of getting the best return immediately and then continue to scale.

I’m a fan of harvesting the equity to scale up.

Taking a smaller profit on your first flip is not foolish if it gives you the experience and confidence to scale, just make sure you build in a cushion for surprises like higher material costs, delays, or inspection issues.

You’re saving significantly by self-managing and cleaning early on, use that cash flow to build reserves for scaling.5.
