So far, I've been buying small 1–4 unit rentals (mostly owner-financed) and renting them through the Section 8 program to generate reliable monthly cash flow.Now I’m looking to scale up fast into multifamily — specifically 8–50 unit properties — and eventually even larger complexes by the time I’m 30.

On the BP podcast they have been talking about scaling lately and I've seen numerous posts here with people asking how to achieve scale. 

Alternatives—Other strategies you’ve used to scale beyond “refi → deploy” quickly?

So far, we’ve been acquiring small rental properties (mostly owner-financed deals) to rent to Section 8 tenants, generating consistent monthly cash flow.We’re following a simple but powerful model:👉 Buy small units cheap👉 Rent to reliable tenants through the HCV program👉 Scale unit by unit using limited capitalNow I’m preparing to scale into multifamily (8–20 units) and eventually into larger complexes (40+ units).

My goal is to scale.

Hi Steven,Congratulations on your new goals and decision to purchase in the mid-west. 

They could do a pizza, wings or almost anything else at smaller scale  That would probably be ok, but I'd have a stove before I had a dishwasher.

Quote from @Shema Cochrane: Building a few new relationships on the land side this month, focusing on opportunities that fit well for smaller scale residential builders and infill projects here in Arizona.

Quote from @Jodi Webb: Hey everyone — I'm curious to hear from investors who have been able to grow their rental portfolio quickly.What strategies, financing methods, or partnerships helped you scale fastI’m looking to accelerate my own growth and would love to hear real-world examples or lessons learned. 

I purchased my first property (a condo) in 2022, in March of 2024 I started renting it out and I moved back in with my family.
