I'm a huge soccer enthusiast and one of the things we do not have in our area is a outdoor sports complex that can be a beacon for our growing youth sports culture.   

I think Suffolk might hold a different culture and there is more I need to uncover before I proceed.

I ended up going with Keller Williams because of their training and support and mainly their culture.

The whole tech culture is shiny new and they would prefer a sterile high end apartment. 

With that said, there’s a lot of great thoughts out here, but “disruption” will always, and has always been he way in which we, as a culture ultimately get better at doing things.

The only way to reasonably scale your outbound operations is through tracking your numbers like a madman & having an excellent team culture. 

You can buy some cheaper finishes that are still attractive and even have some contemporary style. 

I'm also on the very basic-initial steps towards getting my RE investment business on the road, but I have spent most of my time educating myself on books, trends, and most of the culture of Real Estate investments.

I don't know if this is a cultural thing but every single realtor/investor I talked to told me the same thing. 

Some of it is cultural, I am a kiwi (new Zealander), and most of our clients are from similar cultures to ours where we tend to resent paying for anything.
