(They broke the story on Beattie Development and they've asked other clients to contact them with your issues/complaints.) 

I will summarise my learnings to date and share a little about the process/rules I have developed here to hopefully be successful in REI in the Portuguese market.

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

Quote from @Steve Lehman: @William VreelandAs a local Indy Investor and RE consultant I have been flowing the IHA development closely to see what kind of developments have been happening.

But I'm sure the developer made $1m.

If it is covered it's usually if caused by a covered loss meaning mold develops due to some other covered peril. 

I am not interested in this space as a "get rich quick" solution but more so about developing and growing assets over time and eventually trading up into better assets that can provide the cash flow I need to accomplish my goals.

Is anyone else developing in this space?

Oh also number one skill to develop regardless of the route you take is being able to identify and get in contact with motivated sellers.

MF with many garages to convert to ADUs, parcel splits, full on development, coop/tic with the resources to handle financing challenges, etc.To raise money in this market as a newby will also be challenging unless you can get it from friends and family.
