The idea of an asset class where my "tenant" is a trucking company parking a semi — and my biggest maintenance issue is a gravel pothole — got my attention fast.So I ran it through an AI tool that helps me do a feasibility study on a vacant dirt lot.

Here’s something I did about 20 years ago on a deal I was trying to syndicate that was outside my area of expertise; I hired a CRE consultant to do a feasibility study and that gave the investors confidence to invest in my project  

I have been studying and educating myself, and I am finally at a point in my life I want to try and invest in real estate.

Studies that I have seen show that utility usage drops when tenants pay for them directly. 

Reading case studies and connecting with investors now gives you a huge head start for 2027.
