The successful transitions have been gaining momentum for 10-years and just now getting traction...it's partnerships between private, public and not-for profit...all working toward a common goal...that and huge pools of funding from sources like Nationwide Children's Hospital...and even though everyone is selling these locations as the next best thing, I'm seeing long-time residents still embedded...no pride in ownership.

@Rick Stevens Definitely seems to be an idea that is gaining momentum.

As the project starts picking up momentum then prices typically RISE over time as demand builds and number of units in the property being available for sale decreases (supply and demand).On new builds the developers might throw in some free upgrades etc. as that usually does not affect the sales price as a comp in a negative way.If this is a one off build then comp setting can be  different but if this builder is building multiple properties they are not going to want to reduce the sales price.

You'd be surprised at the momentum that alone can create for you.

Once i picked up some momentum in RE I started dedicated much more time towards it and other things fell to the wayside.

Here are a few things I have learned:1.) it takes several months to build momentum; people will first get to know you and then a life situation happens which makes them motivated, not the other way around.2.) you get a lot of angry calls.

Also, it is based heavily on momentum, very hard to get going in the beginning but once it does it can be powerful and almost unstoppable.

I decided to delay this until i gain a bit more momentum with real estate.

We cannot back track, but over the course of 9 years, we are learning from our mistakes and educating ourselves to gain the momentum.

It takes a lot to get the ball rolling but believe me when I say, momentum is real.
