Now, though, I have 25 years of data engineering and working with software engineering teams behind me, and these last 4 years I fiddled with modern open-source software like PostgreSQL for db, D3.js for interactive maps and analytics, CSS and SASS for elegance.

If you want to pay for coaching, I would encourage you to find someone who does individualized coaching.

@Caleb Brown   Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement.

Mailers are legal.I am not encouraging you to break the law, but 1/2 the industry does things that are not legal.

As of March 1, 2026, the City’s new Land Use Code officially takes effect — and it’s intentionally designed to encourage more middle-density housing across the city.Here’s what matters:• Expanded support for duplexes, small multifamily, and mixed-use buildings• Clearer zoning districts that allow more housing by right• A shift away from one-size-fits-all zoning toward neighborhood-appropriate density• Strong alignment with walkability, downtown growth, and long-term housing supplyThis is often called “missing middle housing” — the space between single-family homes and large apartment buildings — and Manchester is leaning into it in a thoughtful, structured way.For homeowners, this could mean new options you didn’t previously have.For investors, this creates predictability and opportunity — if you know how to read the code correctly.

i'd encourage you to be patient and skeptical and not buy something just to buy.i hope this helps and I am happy to answer any other questions you have. i am on BP to help new investors not lose money, not to tell them to "go for it."

Ryan, you’re thinking about the right tradeoffs here, but I’d encourage you to slow the process down and look at the full cost picture, not just the rate.

Collectively, they create:Interruptions during the dayDelays that push jobs outHigher costs when vendors have to returnWhat helped was treating vendor interactions the same way we treat tenant screening: clear rules, enforced consistently, before work starts.The concept of a Vendor Compliance Gatekeeper changed how I thought about it.

I'd encourage you to check out ours :) There's also a link to my pricing engine at my website link below in my signature. 

If it’s something you feel called to do, I’d encourage you to take the leap and build the runway as you go.
