Welcome to the Bay! I am in Marin County and recently discovered Bay Area Wealth Builders (BAWB) real estate meetup. I've been to their past two monthly meetings and thought the information and networking opportunities were great. I paid for the annual membership which isn't necessary but it is cheap given the value of information they offer. Let me know if you want to connect, hopefully see you at the meeting next month! Schedule on their website here:

Plan to be at the next one on Thursday March 16th,2023 at the Best Western in Corte Madera. Hope to see you all there!

Hey man -  have you spoken with Randy Hendrickson yet? He does something similar to this and has a wing of his business that focuses exclusively on interviewing RV park owners, investors, and guests.

Happy to put you two in touch if you'd like. Feel free to message me directly.

Post: Market expansion: case study for job opportunity!

Hi BP community! I've been lucky enough to be moved along as a candidate for an exciting role. The next step is a case study and I'm curious to hear others thoughts on this platform to conclude the direction I'll take.

P.s. I'm not too clear on how to include the "3% quarterly distribution target" in the analysis. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated too. Thanks for any considerations and time from y'all!


Please see case study below

Given the management fees and the recent rise in interest rates, we need to expand and/or shift our target markets from Denver, Austin, and Seattle...

[Company's] current portfolio metrics are as follows:
- Current Net Yield = 3.5%
- 50% LTV
- After our 1% management fee and cost of capital, 3% quarterly distribution target

How would you think about what markets we should expand to and why?


Please provide your quantitatively driven analysis and recommendation.

Quote from @Shiela R.:

@Ryan Leake, welcome :)  I second @Chris Davidson - invest in yourself (but not all in one place).  I invested in multiple forms of education, including a paid mentorship.  I learned how to acquire properties on terms and it was, hands down, the best money I ever spent.


 That's awesome to hear. A paid mentorship is something I'm absolutely open to. How did you go about finding your mentor in terms of steps taken, personality match, etc?


Thanks for sharing!
