I’d like to (re) introduce myself

[Valerie Lane]

I posted a question with a brief introduction earlier.  Let me back up and make a proper hello.

I’m Valerie Lane.  Registered architect, LEED certified, licensed real estate salesperson.  I’ve been practicing architecture in Tucson and the surrounding areas for the past 10+ years.  I’ve worked on small and large  scale residential and commercial projects and have some great relationships with many of Southern Arizona's finest contractors, tradesmen, supply houses and developer/investors.

Recently I attained my real estate license and am slowly building my contacts and relationships in this world.  I have a passion for houses, for structures in general and I bring a unique outlook to my clients in real estate and architecture by combining these sets of knowledge. 

My husband recently stepped away from his 9-5 to help me realize my dream of becoming a mid-scale infill development company and investment co-op. We're both brand new to this world but have some fresh ideas and are ready to dive in. Our short term goals are to build and nurture relationships with like minded people in the community that want to add value to the neighborhoods we live in while building wealth and providing a solution to a missing middle housing and commercial area. We're analyzing properties right now with the idea of some immediate capital growth (fix/flip)(BRRRR), and long term looking at value add plays on existing structure or ground up on infill lots we can either buy or become land partners with the owners on.

My focus is building, design, buy/sell, project management.  My husband Lucas brings his 20 years of management experience with major aviation projects and will be focused on marketing, research, financial operations.

So hello to the BP community and we’ve found this site very helpful in getting started and also a great networking tool.

If you’re in the Tucson or southern AZ area and interested in getting together we’re looking for partners, investors, land and property opportunities.  We’re open for anything.

Hi Valerie- Welcome to BP, and Tucson is a great market to be in! My partners and I have 32 units down there, and are looking to continue to expand out holdings in the market. Congrats on taking the leap into real estate, and let me know if there is anything you need help with. I always enjoy connecting with other investors in the market!
