I can say without a doubt that I would have totally taken the wrong deals if I hadn't physically visited the area to get a feel and built a team of professional boots on the ground who weren't afraid to be blunt with me. 

I am looking into hiring a boots on the ground for real estate as well as a lead manager for follow ups. 

Your two biggest risks are underinsurance and liabililty.I had a cabin burn to the ground a few years ago in the Gatlinburg fire. 

I am working for a sponsor who is raising capital for 2 ground up multifamily development projects.

The Fractional 1031 exchange is into a ~$20,000,000 ground-up construction multifamily deal.

If your market is showing SF zoned comps for a ADU addition that match or exceed hands off cost of adding a ground up single ADU, your market would be rare if not unique for CA. 

Always happy to discuss the situation on the ground if you want to reach out, as I live, work, and invest here.

The best money making opportunities in Florida are with the ground up. 

You can't make a filet mignon with ground chuck beef if that makes sense.

I have a great team in place on the ground that handles everything end to end for me.
