However, staying focused, adaptable, and committed to the project's success helped me overcome these challenges and achieve favorable outcomes.

As a medium-sized developer based in Oregon, we have a diverse portfolio that includes the construction of apartments, adaptive reuse projects, single-family housing, and land development.

Yes, adaptability and flexibility seem like very valuable qualities in the real estate investment world. 

@Allison Ezzi I do not know what size of property you are purchasing, so adapt the following as applicable.As an investor, you will often purchase {partially} occupied properties, which continue to be someone's home during the diligence window.  

Or finally, you can lease up and stabilize the asset.Every location is different, and the optionality of having multiple exit strategies allows you to adapt to the market, remain agile and achieve the maximum return on investment for every deal.Even when conditions are favorable, prioritize a proactive approach to due diligence and mitigate risk by structuring the purchase agreements so you only close with full entitlement approval.

Every investor is going to have to pivot & adapt to what the market is offering.

But life changes, goals adapt, and different opportunities arise.I have overwhelmingly been lucky that all my tenants have taken care of the properties. 

There is always pressure to find deals so I've had to adapt to stay in business.

Recession or not learn and adapt you should be OK. 

I understand your concerns about the tight market conditions and the need to adapt your business strategy.
