WARNING - Justin Goodin is Operating as Goodin Development

[Melanie P.]

If you've been around these forums a while you may remember @Justin Goodin of Next Level Equity. He used to troll these waters for suckers very hard until I found out that his claimed experience and transaction history was fake. Deals he claimed to have "closed" were not his firm's deals, despite being listed on Next Level Equity's Portfolio page and Justin creating and posting graphics with Next Level Equity's logo the word "CLOSED" and pictures of other people's real estate. Justin made posts here about how much "he spent" rehabbing units that wound up belonging to other people. I wrote about this extensively here and also made reports to the SEC and FBI. Well, surprise, surprise the phony investment firm up and disappeared. Thankfully you can still see what he put on the Next Level Equity site here: Next Level Equity Archived Site

Unfortunately Justin Goodin is back with a new "premier investment opportunity" he's calling Goodin Development. If you compare the sales pitch between Next Level Equity and Goodin Development  you'll hear a familiar tune with the names changed to protect the guilty. This time you supposedly have the opportunity to invest in multii-family under development. His site makes the following claims:

"We are honored to partner with the City of Fishers to build this vibrant community near downtown. District South has a priceless location that backs up directly to the famous Nickel Plate Trail." Yesterday I reached several Fishers' City employees and a member of the Nickel Plate Review Committee none of whom had ever heard of Goodin Development. I was referred to the actual developer, Rebar Development, by City of Fishers and am waiting to hear back from their Corporate Counsel.

"District South was financed with a fixed interest rate construction loan from our partners at First Financial Bank NA. We started construction in February 2025 and are planning to start leasing up in Spring of 2026." First Financial Bank has no record of having done business with Goodin Development. Goodin Development has no filings with the SEC authorizing it to raise money, has not pulled any permits and is not mentioned in any of the numerous news articles discussing the development and the companies involved.

If you are thinking of sending Justin Goodin or Goodin Development any money - THINK TWICE!! USE EXTREME CAUTION!

I will update my reports to federal law enforcement about these activities once I have completed debunking all of his new claims. I'm also hopeful to get some local cooperation now that he's claiming partnerships with local government. Of course, he is free to come here and prove me wrong. So far that hasn't happened, despite being given every opportunity to do so. Be safe out there.
