Driving by jobs in areas where theres a lot of development

When they near the end of their life they will start to get pitted and develop pin hole leaks on the bottom.  

I think this is a very good thing for a GC or developer to do in today's world.  

A good friend of mine started a property maintenance company in Brooklyn, NY (super competitive market) and grew his database by showing up to development sites, following investors and developers on social media, introducing himself to local property owners, posting his day to day on Instagram, and following up with his database regularly.I also agree with everything @David Peschio and @Drew Sygit suggested here!

A dedicated Customer service agent in each company that will do development work for you run plats for you etc..Its incredible the amount of work they will do that comes along with the service ..

The majority of 1-4 MF are in super expensive areas like Montrose, less desirable areas outside of town, or new developments which haven't proven their long term attraction. 

But this is the type of place where development happens to acquire both.

I work with several retail developers in Houston, Texas. 

I'm currently finishing my first development project in Cobble Hill Brooklyn, and would be glad to pass along more info. that might be of help to you. 

My recommendation when people ask about getting into this, my knee jerk response is, "go work for a large MF or commercial developer".
