Deep dives

Understanding Growth vs. Scaling

A key distinction in real estate investing is the difference between growing and scaling a portfolio. Growing involves adding more resources, leading to increased costs and effort as new properties are acquired. In contrast, scaling focuses on increasing efficiency and optimizing existing resources to handle more properties without a proportional increase in expenses. For example, managing multiple rental properties with a single property manager allows for better rates and reduced workload, exemplifying how scaling can yield greater returns with less effort.
