I truly look forward to the ability to scale my own business, develop solutions to problems that come along the way, and have fun working with people with similar goals and mindsets. 

Scaling your business is all about systems, processes and consistency.

The reason higher returns are possible is due to economy of scale.

It's just a difficult business to really scale large and still give the personal touch and quick assistance that people expect these days.

If you’re an investor that does more than one deal a year then find an agent that  is willing to do a sliding scale commission (3% deal one, 2.5% deal two, etc, until you’ve agreed on when to restart the commission scale).

I’ve never understood the societal norm of working in the same job or industry for 40 years, retiring at 65 only to live off a merger pension and social security.

Josh is the quintessential BP member, someone wanting to find freedom through real estate and using the resources and community here to do it, I thought it would be beneficial to the community to hear this person'...

It seems if I'm only doing one deal in 90 days that it's not enough and I need to really think about scaling up to at least 3-4 to make the juice worth the squeeze.

Housing, along with climate change, is one of the primary issues in the spotlight and "big brother" is working really hard to make it look like they know how to fix it and pedaling a bunch of ludicrous ideas that sound good to those who have no understanding of large scale economics and real estate, but in reality are only going to make things more convoluted.

The only catch: it hadn't been built yet.From Value-Add to Ground-Up DevelopmentWe were now entering the world of ground-up multi-family development, which is like a second cousin of the value-add strategy - loosely related, but disparate in a number of ways.This forced us to consider a multitude of details that don't really come into play in the value-add world: PUD agreements, zoning ordinances, land conditions, short-term cash flow short falls, construction timelines, a full-scale lease up process; and so on.
