Since this is a post about our loan shop, I'll highlight that we are a small loan shop (30 employees), family-owned just trying to get more clients by placing their loans well and treating customers well.

@Sean O'Keefe Hi Sean, it would be greatly appreciated if you would share the log with me as well.

There are things you need to be aware of prior to going down that path, though

I think if anyone chose to focus on inbound crews and create parking like you said, as well as crew amenities (large dining areas, etc), they would be booked year-round and in-demand.

Those tend to be the neighborhoods that are gentrifying.Unique stuff to Pittsburgh I would say is don't go based on zip codes since one zip code can be composed of multiple different areas/neighborhoods.

What did they say it would be?   

You have to be willing to sell your properties and access the equity to buy up.

I’m as healthy as ever, and I make sure the journey doesn’t come at the expense of my well-being or relationships.If ultra-wealth is the goal, I think the true joy lies in looking back and appreciating the progress we’ve made along the way.

If you are new, be sure you can raise the funds before proceeding.In my opinion, you are going to have a hard time raising money with a 6% pref and 70% of the profits after that unless you have a lot of newbie investors in your Rolodex.
