Unfortunately I gave up playing in 9th-10th grade.

I have also bought commercial grade vinyl for as low as .19 a foot.

After the new year I plan on doing a very small scale, slow direct mailing / calling on currently off market multifamily properties.

If you can take some of that “earned” capital and scale the investment you’re on your way to building that times over (if that is part of your plan).

That’s a nice scale for measuring general expectations.

I’m trying my best to scale but the options appear vast, please advise.

It may be important to realize that you have created general partnerships for federal income tax purposes, as such, and unless you elect out under one of the limited exceptions, what you're doing falls under the purview of Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code.The 1065 deadline is March 16th.If you have the economies of scale, it may make a lot of sense to onboard a professional at this point. 

Your GC, when asked what it would cost to repair the floor, quoted you about $12 per square foot for demo, removal, new-floor installation, new stain-grade trim installation, finish-in-place.

I'm relatively new to real estate investing and ready to scale up.

My typical turn around time for the entire process is 3-4 months.I truly believe this process would allow you to scale efficiently to your goal of 4-5 properties within your timeline.If you want to discuss further I am available.
