I grew up in the land bizz  currently building out a 75 million dollar housing project in Oregon that I own and developed  I bought the dirt  7.5 mil cash and did all the horizontal in 3 phases about 2 mil per phase for development costs ( these were bank loans) then same bank gave me vertical loans and well we are down to the last 17 houses of which I have 11 presold and closings every two weeks for the next few months ..

I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.

DealMachine and direct mail can work well, but consistency is key.

I wish you well in any case.

Thank you and be well-ShawnT Buyers aren't necessarily interest rate shopping they are shopping for affordable payments.

I’m a member of both, as well as an agent and investor, and they’ve been great resources.Hope to meet you at an event soon and always happy to talk shop about the Milwaukee market or multi-family investing.

Thank you and to you as well with your future endeavors. 

Now I’m looking into the Detroit and Ohio areas (Toledo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus) since they seem to have growing populations and affordable properties under $200k as well.  

For reference, we're heavily involved in the co-living space, which is an unorthodox strategy but can perform exceptionally well with the right property and systems in place.
