Hey everyone,

Today, while driving around, I came across a property that looks like a great investment opportunity. It’s perfect for building a few homes and some general development. While I’ve never done a project like this before, it’s something I’d love to take on—or at least organize and bring in the right experts to see it through.

I estimate it would require around a $2M investment to build 5 houses on the lot, with each home valued roughly at $600K. I think it could be a great investment opportunity, but I don’t have that kind of capital.

Has anyone tackled a project like this? What would the next steps look like in terms of finding partners, financing, and handling zoning or permits? Any advice or insights on getting started would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello BP Community,

I'm currently working as an acquisition manager, where I spend my days walking through a variety of properties, many of which I believe would make great long-term rentals. While my focus is primarily on flipping, I’ve become increasingly interested in building my own rental portfolio.

However, I know there’s a lot to learn, and I’m hoping to connect with some experienced investors who have built successful long-term rental portfolios. I’m looking for mentorship—people I can bounce ideas off of and who can provide guidance as I navigate this process. While I’m working toward securing the capital I need to invest at a larger scale, I’m actively out in the field and come across many properties with potential.

If you're open to sharing some of your knowledge or have advice on how to get started with rentals, I’d love to connect and learn from your experiences.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I've been exploring the fascinating intersection of philanthropy and economic development lately, and it's been eye-opening. As I venture into transforming a historic school into a daycare and cultural hub, I've come to appreciate the crucial role of non-profits and endowments in driving both social change and economic growth.

Behind every successful non-profit lies a strategic investment framework. These organizations utilize endowments and donations not only to fulfill their missions but also to catalyze economic development within communities.

This realization has broadened my perspective as a real estate entrepreneur. By aligning projects with non-profit initiatives, I've discovered collaborative opportunities that not only generate economic returns but also foster social progress.

Philanthropy serves as a powerful engine for economic revitalization, job creation, and sustainable growth. It's not just about giving back—it's about building stronger, more vibrant communities for everyone.

I'm eager to hear your insights and experiences. How have you seen philanthropy contribute to economic development? How do you envision its role in shaping our collective future?
