Hi BiggerPockets community My name is Jay Toluganti, and I’m a real estate investor and operator based in Florida, actively investing both locally and in a few Midwest and Northeast markets.I started my real estate journey a few years ago and have since built an operator-focused business across multiple strategies, including:📍 Vacant land acquisitions, primarily sourcing infill lots for home builders🏗️ Supporting builders with 185+ lot acquisitions, contributing to 1M+ sq ft of residential development🏠 Single-family rehabs & cosmetic flips💰 Working with private and self-directed IRA lenders on structured, asset-backed dealsMy background is in engineering and management (corporate roles in India and the U.S.), so I’m underwriting-driven and very systems-oriented.
