I’m passionate, hardworking, and eager to dive into creative financing opportunities and learn from those who’ve walked this path successfully.If you’re someone who enjoys teaching, partnering, or sharing insights, I’d love to hear from you!

I’m reminded of a buddy of mine who moved from Brooklyn to Scottsdale.. he initially thought the desert was just cacti and scorching heat, but soon realized there’s a thriving market here with pockets of real oportuntiy.Working with an investor who’s ready to spec build is a fantastic way to dive in.

I have some YouTube videos that may help with some of your questions and always happy to have a call to dive a little deeper. 1. which development(s) tends to be the best for ROI/have the best occupancy rates? 

It’s exciting to hear about your plans to dive into this field, and Chicago is a fantastic market to explore once you move there.It sounds like you’re on the right track with your interest in House Hacking, Mid-Term Rentals, Short-Term Rentals, and the BRRRR strategy.

@Kegan Scholl definitely connect with @Jackson Harris and dive into the AZ market if you have not already!

If you’re thinking about diving in, I say go for it—but maybe don’t start by living in a closet.

@Derick JenningsGreat to see you diving into real estate investing!

Diving into STR platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are definitely on my to-do list as I start narrowing things down. 

Now is the time to dive deep into researching the markets you’re considering.
