It is a growing area and theres more expansion going towards the island and Brownsville since the establishment of space x.

Your hesitance to leverage equity for larger deals seems wise, particularly since your goal is stable, long-term investment rather than rapid expansion.

But I truly believe, after expansive research, insight, connections and facts, that it's not in any way shape or form an MLM but instead exactly as it has broadcast itself as a completely new reengineered envisioning of what a Real Estate brokerage should, and needs to be, for this age and the future.

I'll be doing an extensive full gut remodel which will include an expansion of living space by doing a partial garage conversion making this 2 bed 2 bath SFH a 3 bed 3 bath SFH, adding about 300sq feet of living space.

The expansion is headed out to more rural areas.Grand Bay and Theodore are smaller rural areas outside of Mobile off the i10 Interstate.

when there's broad changes in interest rate (not just because of central bank rate changes, but also currency depreciation, overnight changes of currency rate, tightening standard of lending, or due to inflation), the first hit is always in banking sector and real estate commercial space, this happened in latin america in 1980 and asia too in late 90 ; in reality, commercial space could only develop during the first wave or major economic expansion (like in China during 2000). 

This was the expansion phase for businesses, I went hard here myself. with interest rates rising 250 percent, you need to recalibrate your system and look at your portfolio.

I guess I'm looking for an expansion on the last post.
