Hi Joshua,It sounds like you’ve got a solid situation—congrats on positioning yourself so well!

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

However this is something that will for sure affect MF construction this year and sfr is these Tarrifs hold.In the NW I know a lot of lumber comes from CA / BC to be specific but my lumber packages for homes i build in Charleston SC are pine so I know it local wood .. but you know the lumber brokers they will gouge if they get any chance to do so

I'd be happy to connect further regarding your questions about more specific and nuanced details.
