I think there's still a lot of room in the country to do this successfully and where the locals can also benefit.

Based on my experience, the key to success is screening for good tenants and managing them well. 

The largest site is about 1/2 way through building a second phase the size of the first phase.All within 10 miles of the power plant.In Commercial or industrial development, you would need both the track record of success and also the financing.  

Network with wholesalers, check public records, and use platforms like PropStream or DealMachine to find distressed properties.Be Cautious: Pay attention to permits, inspections, and local market trends—over-improving for the area could hurt your profits.Starting with a solid plan and realistic numbers will set you up for success.

But I appreciate that those who have found their footing in real estate and are doing it successfully want us newbies to understand it takes work and at least some capital.

These are high effort low success processes that pay off big if/when they hit.Good luck!

I took no up front money and I only get paid for success..

Over time, you’ll build a more accurate dataset tailored to your portfolio.Hope this helps—getting these numbers right is an ongoing process, and you’re asking all the right questions to set yourself up for success!

Building relationships and finding the right deals will be key to your success - also make sure to start out small and go from there - don't get into something too big/you can't handle.

Buyers, sellers, and investors need to remain flexible, informed, and willing to explore creative options to find success.
