I am willing to take my first steps towards development projects.

Much more development is going up nearby (several thousand units development being built).I feel like I missed an opportunity and want to learn this, but just can't seem to get there from here.  

I believe the right partnerships can help scale future projects much faster.My goal is to continue acquiring value-add properties that produce strong and stable cash flow, and eventually move into small multi-family investments.I’m still learning and would really appreciate connecting with other investors in Los Angeles or California.

I’ve been working on a ground-up townhome development in Sevierville, TN and thought I’d share a few observations for anyone looking at STR-focused projects in high-tourism markets.One thing that’s become very clear is that designing specifically for long-term operational durability matters just as much as initial projections.

Anyone care to comment about the VestVestRight and Allied Development program? 

We are planning to move in with family rent-free in 2 months to save up even more for our wedding/ eventual home cost.We live in southern CA and the RE market here is very expensive.

Wholesalers and agents will eventually start showing you properties that are not on the market once they see you as a serious buyer.Good luck!
