A $21B development that generates 12,000 new living units means you spent $1.75M per unit. 

One thing I’ve noticed after spending a lot of time on the lead generation and opportunity sourcing side of real estate is that many investors have the skills, capital, and systems to close deals, but the real bottleneck is consistent deal flow.Because of the work I do, I spend a large portion of my time connecting with motivated property owners and identifying potential opportunities before they ever hit the market.

Not sure if this matters but figure showing appreciation might generate good will? 

And agent relationships only go so far.The real differentiator I’m seeing from a B2B lead generation perspective is this:Investors who treat lead flow like an asset, not an expense, are building something far more sustainable than one-off deals.When you analyze it from a business infrastructure standpoint, consistent direct-to-seller pipelines outperform reactive acquisition models every time.I’ve been deep in the weeds studying:• Pre-foreclosure data patterns• Equity positioning trends• Motivation indicators beyond surface-level lists• Conversion timelines across different seller distress points• How investors structure follow-up systems to maximize long-tail dealsWhat’s interesting is that most investors don’t actually need more deals.They need predictable deal input.There’s a massive difference.Curious, for those actively buying right now:Are you relying more on MLS/agent relationships… or are you building controlled acquisition pipelines?

Until they burn out.Here’s the framework we use to launch investor meetups that run sustainably, fund themselves, and generate leads long after the event ends.Start with a 90-Day TimelineGive yourself 90 days from decision to first event.

Hey everyone, Jake Heller here.Quick background: I'm a 3rd generation real estate developer.

Property generates some income via an STR and a commercial space, looking to put my small biz in part of the commercial space, and part of it you can live in. 

Those losses don't disappear — they carry forward and can be used when you eventually sell the property, when you generate passive income elsewhere, or if your situation changes (e.g., income drops below $100k, you qualify for REP status in a future year).

Shortly after profit is being generated from this project, I intend on subdividing another 50 acres.

If someone fills a closet or room with flammable liquids, chemical products that may generate poisonous fumes under certain circumstances such as flood or fire, stacks of stolen goods they plan to sell online, or, simply fills a garage or "extra" room with used tires and car parts, or barrels of asbestos, who will need to deal with removal and disposal of "Hazardous Waste" if left behind, or worse?
