Great post, Devin! I love how you reframed failure as a stepping stone to success. It reminds me of something I’ve learned on my journey: if you’re not getting uncomfortable, you’re not growing.

One of my recent failures was underestimating the importance of clarity in conversations with potential investors. I realized I was pitching ideas without fully articulating the value I bring to the table. It was a tough moment, but it pushed me to focus on preparation and delivering my message with confidence.

Failing forward is part of the process. Like you said, those uncomfortable moments are where we grow the most. Thanks for sharing your story—what strategies are you using now to prepare for calls like that?

Scott, this is incredible work! Turning a historic duplex into a high-performing asset while forcing $100k in appreciation is no small feat—seriously impressive.

I’m particularly fascinated by how you navigated the Sacramento market and managed the rehab process. Adding bedrooms to both units sounds like a game-changer for rent potential.

How did you decide on this property, and what’s been your biggest learning from this project? Also, would you say Sacramento still has strong opportunities for buy-and-hold investors like myself looking to get started?

I’d love to connect and learn more about your process!

I’m going to be real: I don’t own a property yet, and I don’t have a pile of money sitting around. What I do have is relentless energy, focus, and the drive to succeed in real estate.

I’m diving headfirst into multi-family and commercial real estate because I know this is where true wealth is built. I may not have resources today, but I bring something just as powerful: the willingness to outwork, outlearn, and outlast anyone else in the room.

Here’s what I’m focused on:

✅ Learning from experienced investors.

✅ Building strong relationships and partnerships.

✅ Exploring creative ways to get deals done, even without a ton of upfront capital.

I know that success in real estate is a team sport. It’s about surrounding yourself with people who think big and act fast. That’s why I’m here—to connect, collaborate, and grow with like-minded investors.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,

I’m Alex Banegas, an ambitious real estate investor specializing in multi-family and commercial properties. I focus on value-add opportunities that deliver consistent cash flow and long-term appreciation.

I’m currently working on several deals, including a 32-unit property with a 7.39% cap rate. These deals offer strong cash flow potential, and I’m seeking equity partners to help fund the down payment and reserves.

Here’s how we can work together:

✅ Your Role: Passive partner providing capital for the deal.

✅ My Role: I handle loan structuring, day-to-day operations, and executing the business plan.

✅ The Opportunity: Equity ownership in stable, cash-flowing properties with significant upside potential.

If you’re looking to invest in multi-family properties and want a hands-free experience, let’s connect! I’m happy to share deal specifics, financial projections, and discuss how we can make this a win-win partnership.
