The large metro areas continue to grow outward, and for developers interested in building subdivisions needing larger tracts, the raw land on the outskirts of the city is frequency zoned agricultural (and actually being used as such). 

I have actually already bought Brandons books and audio book bundles because this is hands down the best information I've ever gotten from a podcast.

This is my first property I've ever purchased.

I, too, have considered building my own, but (1) I want to start/grow my RE business, (2) the cost of these services isn't prohibitive. 

They got on talking and Nick sent his first deal on May 18 but not yet a registered broker with SilverSky (We do have a broker program to enroll brokers before we ever fund their deals).Our investor's on the deal doing due diligence had concerns with both the sponsors and the deal which were communicated with Nick then again he reached out to me (Rodolfo) on June 7 and I knew nothing about it, but quickly reached out to Shah who confirmed the deal was off the table and Nick was told the deal is not a good fit.Nick requested for references which I did provide, I guess he was possibly looking at the wrong website (silverskycapital.com) hence he couldn't find any reference of our closed deals.We did receive client's complaints about Nick's negative propaganda on BP and I had to respond to his claims by signing up on BP but while I'm glad to become a new memberof the BPC, I can only hope not to get banned like everyone else whose account got closed in this thread without a known reason, not to mention our FL client, John Stolarenko whose been a member of BPC for over 2 years, but responded and got his account deactivated, he's did reach out to find out what was going on and if this is what paying $500 for an annual premium membership on BP is about, then I don't think I want to be part, especially being used as a platform to bully private lenders and investors who declined to fund loan request is preposterous.This only reminds me how Trump got kicked off of Twitter in 2021.

And grow their portfolio using 1031 exchanges. 

Right now my focus is mainly the origination side of things but I think down the line this would be a solid way to build a pipeline, grow business, and have two streams of income.

I focus on value add retail strip malls.Dustin, you ever thought about turning these strip malls into multifamily?
