Some things have shortcuts, but developing relationships isn't one of them.

My ideal location is in the middle so I'm away from severe flood risk, but still 15-20 mins tops to downtown or the beach.  

.- Current owners purchased many lots and they haven't developed them.

For example, here in Columbus Ohio, you have amazing macros (population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here like Intel headquarters, Amazon, FB, Google, Nationwide, and recently Anduril AND you can still find positive cash flow and the 1% rule here PLUS there's AMAZING appreciation potential.2.

I do expect greater development of condos and townhomes and higher density single family communities. - Acreage will continue to be a very hot commodity.

I am also a project manager and a architectural designer for a real estate developer in NYC. 

Much like by the end of this decade, I will take those same steps to become even less involved with work and have more times with my kids who will be really developing and that will be my focus.The difference once I made money, and was able to make it make money for me I de-risked by eliminating leverage.

The area is rich in history and culture, and with ongoing investment and development in the neighborhood.

Here’s an example of one of our current developments:- A development with 7,190 total linear feet could accommodate 119 homes on 60 ft lots.

They bring higher tenant turnover, limited cash flow, and attract traditional tenants who aren’t your ideal long-term buyers.
