There is strong macroeconomics because of the growing population, job market, and the major companies moving and developing here.

Plenty of opportunity here in DFW.So far I've been working with a couple of local development firms (Realty Capital & Hunt Realty Investments) that have given me some guidance on the commercial side.

Also there is a special tax abatement for office conversions but requires the developer to retain 15% as commercial use.So we have the option to stack them and consolidate.

BP Community:I’m building out a list of videos that will highlight the economic development in the specific cities/towns we invest in.

That takes a little time to develop those resources - but they naturally come with experience.

meeting with one developer is a good start but if you have plans I'd be happy to look.

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

@Anna Smith contact Alvin Schein esq212-935-1400His focus is development in NYC

That's why I am here. first thing I learned in RE is I for sure dont know everything and very few folks do.. we are all learning even at 50 years of doing deals I learn new things every week.. thats why I am on BP you have also 50 states rules and laws are not nationwide so I like to know how each state works when it comes to transactional real estate and development.

What is the experience of the group at performing this sort of development?
