I made that metric up.He nodded approvingly.We're "AI-enabled" now.I don't know what that means.But it's in our investor deck.A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

Thank you for any input.Who this event is for: Active real estate investors (3+ deals ideally) ready to execute value-add dealsBRRRR, flip, and small-scale development operatorsInvestors who want to understand the full lifecycle of a dealThose looking to improve underwriting, financing, construction, and project managementBuilders of repeatable systems—not one-off wins

The pre-app and early agency feedback you’re describing are often where the theoretical yield starts to get grounded in reality.What I’ve found is that the value of that early work isn’t just confirming unit count, it’s also helping developers/builders understand where the risk actually sits and how to price or structure around it.

I won a small development deal in Oregon because of that exact same thing. 

It could hinder development and actually exacerbate the core issue driving housing un-affordability which is a housing shortage. 

Columbus is also home to OSU, which constantly develops real estate, employs lots of jobs, and attracts students from the US and internationally to attend.

With the right plan and eventually the right manager in place, the role shifts from daily work to oversight and capital decisions.I’m currently working through a phased campground development from the ground up and learning a lot along the way.

Suburban development (Frisco, Allen, Dallas central cores) offers immense opportunity, but flipping and STRs demand careful navigation of local regulation and competition.STR potential is vast given tourism, entertainment, tech influx, and well-defined submarkets.Flips require precision timing and strong local comps—especially where mega developments create localized demand spikes.McKinney offers high-growth dynamics with strong lifestyle appeal:Perfect for premium Airbnb experiences (surf park, resort, walkable mixed-use).Flips are higher cost but promising in newly densifying districts.New Braunfels is nuanced:Great for flips in scenic or tourism-focused pockets.STR opportunities limited by regulation—best approached through commercial or SUP-approved zones.

Developing a strong relationship with an experienced, competent lender is key.

Capital doesn’t move like that unless people believe in the long-term future of a place.That’s the context for what we’re building.Most developments try to add cabins near something interesting.We’re focused on creating a true climbing village—something that feels like it belongs there.
