Once you break ground you're a builder and you've got inventory - no more 1031.

That gives you some of my back ground.

My hope is that my investment experience will help my broker business get off the ground, then I can go from there.

Down the road, I see myself doing small to midsize multifamily projects, and my dream would be to do ground-up development and adaptive reuse projects.

Don't want to bury myself with to much bc I'm pretty busy with my own projects but my number is with my info if you need to talk not type, you know on the ground in the field with stuff happening in real time.Best of luck on this apt deal, if you can figure it out it could be a money maker, just think the price is high. last note - get an appraiser out there and walk it with them and get a market overview of what the value would be after you execute your current plan - it might work well but you don't know until you get the info!!!

I'm so grateful for all your advice

We would be grateful for any suggestions.Hope everyone has an action-packed weekend, full of productivity, excitement, and expansion!

This is a small residential building. 5 floors and a ground floor commercial with a restaurant renting.

I'm ready to hit the ground running in this industry.

As long as the media keeps pumping "high" unemployment and "declining" population, we will be able to have a field day with no competition and very undervalued deals.At the end of the day wherever you're looking to invest make sure that you have established trust and relationships with key people on ground that will always have your best interests at heart.Don't become another foreign investor succumbing to shady operators here in the US.Thanks and have a great day.
