Develop property pipelines and learn to underwrite deals. 

Developing land is super risky, so just make sure you are checking everything that needs to be checked with the right consultants. 

You can still find properties in ranges where the 1% rule is possible depending on how you buy, and there’s a ton of appreciation upside because of all the development and job migration happening.

I’m also looking to connect with more real estate developers and people who are actively doing deals.Are there any real estate investment or business communities you’d recommend that have solid weekly meetups and good people who are actually out here closing deals and growing?

You can also easily integrate documents and photos with such a database, for great reporting capability.You also need to develop rock solid, Standards and Processes for your operations.

I use a spreadsheet I developed to determine my entry costs, carrying costs, cash flow, tax write offs, appreciation and exit costs.

Getting really skilled at cold calling is a highly challenging, but if you seriously invest in developing your own skillset, you can crush it with cold outbound...because you don't sound like 'just another salesperson.'"
