Right now, the successful investors I work with are all pivoting to fix/flip and development. 

We are a boutique firm in Chattanooga and every agent in our firm is personally involved in either real estate development, owns investment properties or flips homes. 

One community I invest in is currently adding a quarter billion dollar mixed use development the other is at an interstate insertion that 4x's the population with travelers daily. 

It's seen quite a bit of growth and development, the income is also high around that area. 

we have had record year last two years in the following.1. new construction2. flipping in the sub 250k range in secondary cities3. land flipping 4. land development for sfr and flip to national builders.No slowing down in 25.what we dont do or did do was rentals.. everything but. 

This could be an opportunity to add value by offering to help with clearing or relocating those items as part of any potential agreement.Why This Could Be a Good Move for YouYou see long-term potential in the property, especially with the large lot and development possibilities (even if those are years down the line).As the current tenants, you have the advantage of a direct relationship with the landlord and familiarity with the property, reducing competition and risk.This could be a chance to lock in a property that you might otherwise lose if it hit the open market, especially in today’s competitive environment.Challenges to ConsiderIf the landlord is emotionally tied to the property or reliant on rental income, they may be reluctant to sell.Financing could be tricky, especially with today’s interest rates and the gap between the current rent and what a conventional loan might cost.The development potential you’re interested in is likely a long-term play, which means the property could be financially tight in the short term, especially if you’re only breaking even or slightly negative on cash flow.Structuring a Potential DealTo make this feasible, you’ll likely need to explore creative financing options that align with both your financial capacity and the landlord’s goals.Seller Financing: Propose a deal where the landlord acts as the lender, allowing you to make monthly payments directly to them.

BUT - - man I saw all the new developments and I figured "ok, we're overbuilt....great".      

@Kenny Smith the data I saw yesterday from Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation says that the front range is losing a few folks and the Western Slope is gaining a few more that your above number so while Colorado is gaining, the front range is losing and the Western Slope is gaining more.

Syndication was the key that opened the door to exponential development, allowing me to reach new heights in my real estate career.During my own journey, I learned that syndication was the key to growing my business.

I'm excited to see what develops.
