One lot on the east side on main, was a "save a lot" grocery that got scrapped and re developed into mixed use. 

Evenually if all goes well I would like to continue growing my portfolio and eventually expanding to different areas if all goes well. 

I've been doing revenue management for 4+ years, currently across about 100+ and I've developed a framework for how I think about pricing on Airbnb that I wanted to share because I think a lot of hosts are leaving money on the table without realizing it.For context on where this comes from: when we take over pricing for a listing, our average revenue increase over the first 90 days is around 31%.

I eventually had to fire them. 

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.

Went from a shoebox-and-spreadsheet approach to Xero to eventually building my own bookkeeping tool out of frustration with paying for separate subscriptions per entity.I'm here to learn from people who've been doing this longer than I have - especially around commercial real estate, multi-entity management, and scaling a small portfolio.

My guess is they will like the money, but eventually will sell to a second-home family from the PDX area.   

You’ll learn about contractors, lenders, suppliers, and many other relationships you will need to develop. 

That community grew into something special, and eventually we sold it to BiggerPockets, where it became PassivePockets.

This is one of those weeks where the headlines will try to pull your attention in ten different directions.Manufacturing data.Employment numbers.Retail sales.Jobless claims.The full jobs report Friday.Here’s the development that actually deserves your focus:The Department of Housing and Urban Development is proposing a rule that would allow local housing authorities and landlords to impose time limits and work requirements on Section 8 rental subsidies.What’s being discussed:• Time limits as short as two years• Work requirements up to 40 hours per week• Elderly and disabled tenants exempt• Adoption left to local housing authorities and participating property ownersRoughly 9 million Americans receive federal housing assistance.Supporters argue rental aid isn’t an entitlement and that time limits could promote mobility while freeing up vouchers for families stuck on long waiting lists.Critics argue most recipients who can work already do — wages simply haven’t kept pace with rent — and strict limits could increase housing instability during a period of record-high costs.The proposal is being published today and will be open for 60 days of public comment.Now zoom out.Housing is not a luxury product.It is infrastructure.When affordability tightens, policy pressure builds.
