Ask yourself, what you want to drive by in 5 years and say "that's my legacy"...a vibrant, health focused, community gardens, natural foods, artisan cheese (and bread!)

@Mark LaidfordWelcome aboard the vibrant BP community.

There was over 400 people in the room, which I had the incredible opportunity to network with.These people were high-caliber individuals that can help a person (especially a “newbie”) potentially get deals done.Not to mention all the resources available in the room such as: SEC attorneysA title company An insurance agent Real estate brokers A mortgage brokerI’m sure I forgot to mention someone… lol Basically Brad offers an ecosystem that anyone can plug into and leverage if they choose to.It wasn't your typical real estate investing seminar at all.There was great content, food, coffee, etc and Brad's team was highly professional and awesome as well.We went out on a bus tour and actually went into the market to see apartment buildings and discuss actual case studies with the buyers and sellers of these deals.How cool is that?

I’d much prefer to do that in a vibrant city, where I still have a lot of things I can do.

. - If the virus continues at the rapid pace it is at, it's going to be hard for the vibrant local economy (restaurants especially) to stay afloat. - Aging homes at elevated prices MAY be less attractive to out of towners. 

However, it was Brad and his ecosystem of deal sponsors and passive investors in the group that I immediately had a connection to. 

The tech research in the top universities here is the best and to recreate this eco-system else where will be hard.

As fellow San Jose ownership, we have lot of diversity of way-of-thinking in our area.We have folks that like to say "Cancel Rent", or "Immoral to buy rental property" but we have a majority also that would like to invent business that "disturb all business and move all business to us the tech guy", we also have vibrant community that would like to work 25/8 and sometimes the only purpose is to just keep acquiring property and assets lol.

I'm contacting the vibrant community here in Little Rock with an exciting proposal.

It actually wasn't my market of choice, even though Dubai has a robust ecosystem.
