@Dick Rosen Good stuff!

It started with a call from an associate who had once worked with me, he had some gig converting old giant homes into multis for an investor group, some rag tag group out of Vegas.

Hey Dick, I saw a need.

You get "diversification" both in semi-direct exposure to real estate but it's also one giant portfolio that's usually spread across the country. 

Don't know about you @Dick Rosen  but do you find that the really bad "wholesalers" look at you as more of a competitor, rather than the lifeblood of their business?

You just took a giant leap in the right direction; signing up on Bigger Pockets!

Literally every other house has a giant plastic cylinder in their front yard. 

Not sure how they compare with some of the global giants like HSBC and Credit Suisse, though.

It's been booming lately thanks to tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up shop, which has bumped up property prices and brought in more job opportunities.I've also got my investments in Cleveland and Dayton.
