Should I find a few buyers before I go out trying to find sellers, or should I start with sellers, then look for sellers directly or bring it to other wholesalers?

I am paying quarterly fees to the self-directed IRA that I only opened to invest with AHP.  

This isn't easy to measure directly.

Combine that with America’s housing shortage, and the solution becomes clear:We need to build more homes that align with what buyers can afford.

You can acquire that debt across the direct property and / or the DST/TIC.  

This directly impacts returns for everyone.

You can also leave out some bulk hotel toothbrush/toothpastes, make up removers, earplugs, sleeping masks, etc. if you really want to step up a "In Case You Forgot" basket.You can keep a closet with extra of things that has a lock on it and if someone is irrate because they don't have enough pods, you can at least have a back up solution for them if you choose too. 

If you’re looking for ways to make the numbers work, sometimes that means evaluating different markets, financing options, or property management strategies that help mitigate risks like vacancies and maintenance surprises.You’re not alone in feeling like 2025 could go in multiple directions, but one thing remains true—real estate continues to be one of the strongest vehicles for long-term wealth when approached the right way.

I'm not completely foreign to the construction process as I grew up around a family that was involved in home building, but due to living in another state I can't really lean on them for the direct, hands-on guidance.
