Possibly, if you can build for under 500k, but that is a fairly complext project for a noobie. 600sqft is tiny for an apartment; your rents will be limited by the size.

I currently work at an accounting office, but I’ve always dreamed of one day building my own real estate business. 

I’m also in Boston, and I’m currently working on building my wholesale business — trying to connect with other investors, landlords, and agents in the area.Your knowledge of multi-families and off-market deals would be super valuable as I’m working on building my buyers’ list and finding the right properties.

Here's how it breaks down, including the tax impact:Real Property (39-year assets): This includes the building itself and qualifies for full deferral under a 1031 exchange.

How do you build trust and rapport?

I primarily work on the lending side with a strong focus on real estate investors - many of my clients are actively flipping and often look to refinance once their projects are complete.I’m always looking to build strong local relationships, and I think there could definitely be some synergy between what we do.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Microsoft, LG, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

They really couldn’t look at the affordability problem and then the requirement to spend more on building with sustainability in mind and see the conflict?  

We have a summer mixer tomorrow night, doing a Habitat Build in July and a wholesaling panel in August.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: 🤝 Some of the best real estate investors don’t just flip homes or build portfolios, they re-build communities and lives.🛠️ They take abandoned homes and turn them into safe places for families🌱 They bring life back to neighborhoods that others wrote off 📚 They create spaces for small businesses, nonprofits, and neighborhood services.They’re not just chasing cap rates—they’re using their development skills to give back, one property at a time.As a former Director of Lending at a CDFI, I exclusively financed the acquisition and rehab of 2-4 MF and small apartment buildings that overlooked by local banks and credit unions.Nearly all my clients had 1 of 3 things in common (many had all 3) that motivated them to complete their redevelopment project, they either:1️⃣Grew up in the area,2️⃣Still attend church nearby, and/or3️⃣Have a family member that still lives in the neighborhoodAnd here’s the thing:↩️These impact-minded investors still make a solid return, often with Equity Multiples over 3.0x.
