High interest rates have evaporated most cash flow opportunities. A severely low housing stock and unmet demand means that development is a promising strategy in this environment.  Whether it is land development or vertical construction, these type of projects have substantial enough margins to absorb the higher interest rates. 

Thanks sharing this. The sponsor is absolutely the most important part of any deal and it’sa shame to hear that there are sponsors put there who don’t take care of investor capital. To anyone raising money, there is nothing more sacred than other people trusting you with their hard earned funds and retirement money. You should never take a dollar from an investor unless you are 100% confident in your numbers and your ability to execute. Most importantly, you should never take a dollar of profit until every dollar of investor funds has been returned.

Hey Joan, it's fantastic to see you stepping into the world of real estate with such determination! Sharing your aspirations and holding yourself accountable is an admirable first move. Mat O'Grady's reminder that simplicity comes with putting in the work is golden advice. @Samuel Eddinger's suggestion of finding your tribe through meetups can truly open doors for scaling up and navigating challenges. And don't forget, learning from those who've been in the trenches, like Abbey mentioned, can save you from spreading yourself too thin. Remember, every step forward brings you closer to that duplex or triplex in Central Connecticut. Best of luck on this exciting journey! 🏠🚀
