I’m both an investor and a CPA who works solely with real estate investors, and I’ve seen this stage of scaling from both sides.

I’ve been hearing a lot about investors using DSCR loans to scale beyond conventional caps.

Based on what you've said:- $160K in equity- Desire to scale You should sell the house.$160K as an investment into different propert(ies) can earn you a lot more than $750/month.

Depends on how you define scaling. 

Nevertheless, with the right circumstances it is absolutely a vehicle one could use to scale without too much risk - for example if a property was a rental and paid off but had a lot of equity, it could make sense to do the refi.Ultimately every situation is different, but it is definitely a strategy that works for scaling.

In order to scale, everything you mention in your question needs to be solved for, which is why there can be so much complexity.

Quote from @Kelly Schroeder: The biggest challenges on scaling flipping are quality control with contractors for example getting the vanity light straight and centered with the vanity sink.
