Building smaller homes to suit those just entering the the market and baby boomers exiting the market.

Go shake hands and kiss babies at REIAs.

I just had a mini-crisis before posting this.

But I felt a void - it was just not exciting enough, it was a boring desk job, 9-5 nothing ever changed, hit the check boxes and go home  - I stuck around for another year and finished my degree, it was just not enough - I reached out to my business partner today, just started my Executive MBA grad degree #2 - asked for an opportunity (I was about 24 then) he gave it to me in his established property management business, I would be responsible for construction business development, had to quit my job, started working with no compensation, commision only - baby steps fast forward to today, own a medium size brokerage, established construction staff, exited and sold the retail property management business I walked into at the age of 24 and rolled out a boutique brokerage for Smartland investors only, made partner and am totallty obsessed with real estate - Its been an exciting ride so far, I am glad I took the plunge - just don't get me wrong, it takes lots of hard work, substantially more work then 9-5 but the payoff at the end is what counts : ) 

There are mini splits.

A lot of Baby Boomers leaving the workforce causing a vacuum. 

I closed the door and said to my wife "that guy is crazy" LOLIt's not just first world problem, I would be more specific "It's western world problem, baby boomer generation self entitlement selfish thingy" and just laughing.

I also have a little baby 6' tape measure that I use a lot.

I’m new to BP and in baby steps to developing good networking and eventually my on-the-ground team :) 

Friend #2 recently closed on his own personal home, was planning a wedding, and recently had a baby-yes, a lot going on I know.
