Chad Carson's Small and Mighty approach was what initially drew me to REI; it opened my eyes to its wealth-building potential, especially with respect to achieving FIRE.From speaking to real estate professionals at local events, it looks like multi-family homes outside the Greater Boston Area (but still in MA) are what I should be looking at first, although since I'm very new to REI it's possible my thinking will change over time as I learn more about different markets and strategies (e.g. single family homes in out-of-state markets).

My professional background is in retail operations and HR.

Over the past several years, I’ve managed and grown a portfolio of rental properties, but I’m now looking to transition into land development and home building.I’m currently seeking a knowledgeable real estate agent in South Carolina (close to Charlotte metro) who can help me identify suitable land opportunities and connect me with the right team of builders and other professionals to bring projects to life.If you have recommendations or know someone with strong experience in land development or new construction, I’d greatly appreciate your input.Thank you in advance for your help and connections.JC

More and more people (retirees, working class and professionals are living in RVs. 

I agree with Chris: use a professional.

No attorney-client, fiduciary, or professional relationship is established through this communication. 

It’s not just about defense. it’s about setting yourself up to invest with confidence.To navigate this properly, consider partnering with experienced professionals such as a real estate-savvy tax advisor and an asset protection attorney who understands your goals and risk tolerance.

Instead of reacting emotionally, I stayed professional.

I understand how important it is to expand your presence in the online marketplace to reach a wider audience.Given the complexity and technical aspects of e-commerce, I would advise you to seriously consider enlisting the help of a professional e-commerce development company.
