@Avery Carl

First off, Your new podcast is AWESOME ! Super good content! Keep up the great work!

Currently :

1 long term rental on 10acres with potential to develop more long terms on.

7 short term rentals that I built from the ground up.

Working on a deal to build 6 - 4BR semi oceanfront houses with community pool.

All on the Outer Banks of North Carolina which is a great regional drive to destination with a long established history of short term rentals as tourism is our main income producer for our communities with "relaxed " STR rules and regulations.

My wife and I are looking to expand our portfolio to the Smokies and the Orlando areas in the near future and would love to connect with your team to help us find the right properties.

Cheers!

BPCON21 was AWESOME!!!

Unbelievable time with top notch speakers and incredible attendees! I’m super pumped for the next conference!

I’m curious if anyone has any guesses or suggestions where it may be held ?

Godspeed BP Nation! Keep on keeping on !!

Congratulations to you guys !! Your absolutely killing it! Very inspirational!

I preordered the new book and was just notified yesterday that it’s on the way, can’t wait to read it.

Loving the new podcast! Keep crushing it!👊🏻

Great mindset Julio,

I love being proactive in regards to taxes as opposed to reactive like so many folks do.

I have not previously thought of any of your mentioned suggestions. Great tips! I just finished a ground up 7 townhome development and wish I would have came across this post prior and will definitely be applying such a mindset going forward on upcoming builds. Would you mind if I reach out during design phase to pick your brain? Team work makes the dream work!

Thanks, have a great day!!

Great job Chris !!

Very inspirational, keep up the awesome work man!!

You peaked my interest mentioning that you’re on public record as a cash buyer, I don’t believe I’ve heard of this before. Would you be willing to elaborate on that a little more and how one could go about getting on such a list!

Taking action is indeed key! Cudos bro!

Great job Cassy !!

It’s a wonderful thing when you’re able to see hidden potential where most likely everyone else didn’t recognize it and then taking action!!

I love it! Good luck and god speed on your next adventure! Stories like this are ridiculously inspirational!

Gotta love the BRRRR !!!!

What's up BP Nation ? 

I so pumped about BPCON !! 

I'd like to give a big shout out to the Bigger Pockets Team for putting it all together and keeping it all together through all the craziness !!!   Y'all Rock!!!! 

I have a room booked at the Sheraton but would like to upgrade to the bigger pockets room block, does anyone happen to know if there is any room left in the room block? 

Thanks

I always have the property surveyed directly after getting under contract as it can sometimes take awhile to get it back depending on their work load. With the survey in hand you can then create a proposed site plan which would generally include the following : Building size and location on the property, Septic area along with septic repair area ( unless you are able to tie into a sewage treatment plant), Parking, Building setbacks, Storm water retention area if applicable in your area, Lot coverage %, Fire Hydrant located within a acceptable distance for fire trucks to have access to, sometimes a landscaping plan and a lighting plan may be required. 

This is a rough idea of things to consider that the town / city may require for multi family development, some of which may not be needed for single family development. I find it best to go talk with the planning / zoning department in the jurisdiction that your looking to build in and they are most always in my experience willing to help guide you in the right direction and provide you with a specific list of items that they require for a preliminary approval so you can have the confidence to know that you can build what you would like to on the property. 

I hope this helps. Have a great day! 
 

What’s up BP Nation?

Anyone coming to the conference from the OBX ?

I’m coming from Kitty Hawk NC.

Just finished a 7 townhome development project that we’re using for short term rentals via Airbnb.

Looking forward to hanging out with all you ROCKSTARS !!
