In transitional markets like the Wake/Harnett border, location and long-term growth matter more than current school ratings or rural feel proximity to development can drive appreciation over time.

I’m beginning my journey in real estate development.

Quote from @Hardik Mistry: Hi, My name is Hardik Mistry, and I’m new to real estate development and investing.

Today those properties are some of my best performing rentals and reopened my eyes to long term rental ownership.Everything I do is still heavy value add or ground up development but holding long term has changed how I underwrite and design projects compared to a scenario where the real estate is sold immediately after completion.First, I can justify using higher quality and more durable fixtures and materials.

Be very careful of what you buy, sometimes there are lots/parcels that have latent development constraints that are very expensive to overcome, or sometimes they can prove to be a fatal flaw.

Hello, does anyone have any multifamily development sites that are ready for construction?

When you reach out, be specific about how you can help developers and flippers (driving for dollars, running comps, calling leads, coordinating contractors, project photos, basic spreadsheets, etc.) and commit to a consistent schedule so you’re an asset, not a distraction.Good luck!

Quote from @Hunter Foote: I’m curious to know if there are others in the BP community who have experience with recovery housing as a real estate strategy.I’ve spent the last several years working on the development side of sober living homes, and I’ve found it to be a fascinating intersection of real estate, social impact, and long-term cash flow.

I am getting very, very, very good at developing market intelligence for my area.

But the real opportunity isn't the plant itself—it's the housing shortage it creates 15 minutes down the road.When a $30B facility breaks ground, the demand for workforce housing explodes in a radius around it.I am currently seeing a massive disconnect in the market:Sellers in secondary markets (like Grayson County, TX and Bibb County, AL) are still pricing land like it's 2020.Developers are desperate for inventory to build modular and single-family subdivisions to house these new workers.My acquisition desk is strictly focused on this "Path of Progress."
