I know people who have done this, but the pitch is always to people they know. I can put a direct dollar amount to my in-kind investment in a project. I'm sure if you put a value to it, a good business plan, and some real charismatic sales skills you could do what you're trying to accomplish.

It is always with private investor's though. I don't banks would ever consider this option. (Just a guess here.)

@Erica S. Would love to hear how this all worked out for you. Any chance you could update us as to how your deal went?

+1 on be the bank. Seems like a good way to get a variety of portfolio projects at your door. Perhaps you could be a mentor for hire, too?

With all of your experience, you'd know exactly who you'd want to fund and what return you'd like to get back.

Hi Chris - thank you so much for reaching out. I'll be sure to send you an email. I'd be happy to look over your potential project. It was great reading your profile. What you and your family are doing is really great for our area. The older homes really could use sustainable upgrades.

Never mind, haha, pretty easy to locate. ;)

Hi Chad, likewise. Not often you find other people from Redding around the same site. Where do I find the podcasts?

One good way to find some really great GC's....call local architects and ask. They LOVE keep the good ones afloat. They are like gold, a hot commodity!

Hello all!

Just signed up to BP to hopefully engage in some development discussions. I've been studying to become an architect for the longest time, and am one final test from becoming one. I'm an architectural designer living in Redding, Ca.

My interest here in BP is to learn the mistakes / successes of others developing real estate. I dream of doing projects that focus on good design and sustainability more than anything else.

I'm always an optimist, love to collaborate, and love to debate solutions more than anything else. Looking forward to meeting you all! Best, Josh.

Welcome! New here myself, and literally just signed up. Hope you find what you're looking for!

This is something I feel is very important starting out. First build should be of high quality and something you yourself would want to live in.

Excellent Read. Thank you!
