I am new to the forum and looking to get involved. 

They had an opportunity to save $2.50 to $4 per square foot based on residential development elsewhere.”Lockport Township Fire District Chief David Skoryi advocated against repealing the ordinance.

Well turns out, the city is now rezoning multifamily zones--despite moving closer and closer to rent control because we're in a "housing crisis"--to cut the allowable square footage IN HALF from what we can build today.  

This can often lead to more flexibility and better returns, especially if financing is involved in real estate transactions.

There are no agents involved so no commissions paid out.

I am highly highly intrigued on getting involved with bigger pockets and in the real estate community.

I want to build an empire quickly which involves buying properties that are larger and nicer and bring in good cash flow right away.

I strongly advise you consider the risks before getting involved. 

As an investor, I don't need a license because all of the transactions I'm involved with are my own and, as you know, you can do what you want with your own properties.Great that you're making an effort to learn the rules before getting into trouble.

(IE: Juniper Square - Crowdstreet's business solution, etc.)
