I am on the other side of the bridge in Virginia - there is a good amount of DC area people here on BP

just staying totally away from politics, state laws, etc. for a second - just forget that, as that is not my point and that is not why i'm bringing it up - BLUF: Texas is building houses for people to live in, and CT isn't.

Surrounding yourself with a team brings some risk, but the risk is on your ability to judge people and processes. 

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the current market and any success/fail stories in the Phoenix area.

I was advised people if you have 25 or $30,000 put it in a deal and learn from there but don't give it to a guru. 

Think about what would make your rentals more attractive than what’s already available—whether it’s high-end amenities, themed experiences, or a community-focused approach.If you’re open to chatting, I’d be happy to brainstorm ideas or connect you with people who have experience in this space, only know a few but happy to make any intros I can to help you out. 

I would like to know if there are other like minded people that would like to meet up and discuss potential partnerships.

Most people are wrong about cuts, but for fun, many people saying we may only get Fed cuts 1-2x this year. 

Raise fees on building permits, give tax credits on renovations.Suburban sprawl really hasn't been a good thing for the US.Of course, it's all about supply & demand.But, if you can figure out why more people want to live in Hazel Park (leading to teardowns & rebuilds) versus south Warren or Eastpointe (nothing happening) then you can make millions.

These people don’t have the time to do it themselves.
