As a due diligence footnote - a few submarkets are prone to severe flooding.Nearby Frankfort (state capital) is seeing growth.  

@Tyler Garza disregard everything I stated.

I don't know about you but I am constantly on the hunt for consistency, consistency of income, of deals, of productivity, in my relationships...so that's my focus in all things not just real estate.So my vision to your question is a a state of total consistency of income and deals.I'm focused on the basics, which to drive me is even more specifically "making offers."  

This still goes back to what I stated previously about the two buckets for passive and active income.

Let everyone apply, always:  Make sure you follow state regulations, and let everyone apply.  

We have our own portfolio we manage and development projects across northern VA and DC.  

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

But others investors with different risk tolerances, goals and financial situations invest in the platform.2) I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

Fast forward a few years we are we financially free via house hacking and owning small businesses (leveraging our house hacks as collateral). 

I do projects all over Texas, plus in other states, but the process for permitting/approvals can vary by region.
