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

I am striking out finding a lender in NC who will refinance manufactured homes that are investment properties. 

I can do DSCR on manufactured.

Scaling efficiently really comes down to balancing leverage with control.

This is a great way to scale.

Hello Brandon, effectively scaling your real estate investments starts by managing your first few projects with a solid financial foundation.

I have scaled my own business from 1 home in 2017 to over $4mm of AUM and now work for a company where more than 500 of our clients own 5+ investment properties. 

The opportunities are out there — but I can’t scale at the level I want using just my own funds.That’s why I’m looking for two key relationships:1️⃣ A capital partner who believes in growth, creative structures, and long-term wealth building.2️⃣ A mentor who’s already scaled intelligently — someone who’s built systems, teams, and mindset around sustainable growth — and is open to a call or connection.I’ve done the work, proven the model, and know how to operate successfully.

I’ve been seeing more investors use asset utilization loans lately, qualifying based on their liquid assets or portfolio instead of income or tax returns.For experienced investors or self-employed borrowers, this seems like a powerful way to unlock equity and keep scaling even when write-offs limit income on paper.Has anyone here closed a deal using this type of financing?

Sounds like you’ve got a great foundation between the SDIRA and those North Georgia lots.I’m happy to connect anytime — my background is primarily in multifamily and buy-and-hold investing across Georgia and Texas, so I always enjoy talking strategy, scaling, and long-term planning with other investors who are building for the next decade.
