@Dominic Books what do you have right now that you are trying to scale?

They are typically easy, less docs and allow an easier path to scale.

That experience shaped my investing philosophy: deferred maintenance is the silent killer of returns, especially with our local housing stock (older mechanicals, basements, and winterization).What I’m working on right now:I’m currently in the trenches of scaling my own portfolio to 100+ units.

The clearer your foundation is, the faster you’ll scale with confidence.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer, purchasing your first duplex can be one of the smartest moves you’ll ever make in real estate.

It’s not finding deals.It’s not analyzing deals.It’s not even raising capital.It’s understanding your financing strategy.The investors I see scaling the fastest aren’t buying more properties — they’re using smarter leverage:• DSCR for rentals• Bridge loans for transitional deals• Refinance strategies to unlock trapped equity• New construction loans to build inventory when MLS is tightWhat’s one financing strategy that helped you grow faster — or one you wish you used sooner?

Living there lets you access lower owner-occupier loan rates and smaller down payments, while rental income offsets your mortgage and builds equity.If you can find a property in a growing area with solid commuter demand, you’ll position yourself for both cash flow and appreciation.

Ever wonder why some investors keep scaling… while others stall after their second deal?

Scaling Challenges:A portfolio of SFHs grows slowly.

My goal is to scale beyond single-family rentals and small multifamily units, and I'm eager to learn how investors break into the larger apartment complex deals—especially using other people’s money or with a low initial investment.I'm open to syndications, joint ventures (JVs), and partnership structures that allow for a lower capital outlay while maximizing potential upside.
