A life WORTH living, one thats not measured in cashflow alone, but in service, alignment, and the people I’m raising and serving along the way.Here’s a lesson I learned the hard way:Success is waking up and building anyway, even when no one claps, no one shows up, and no one fully understands what you’re building yet.If you’re in that season right now, hear this clearly..

@Randy Kinder Yes, that's what I was hoping you would say; however, I would recommend that you measure your returns in terms of IRR rather than ROI since real estate investment is generally a multi-year investment.What is your price range/down payment amount?

It’s a structural one.Why it’s happeningBuilders have tools individual sellers do not:• They can buy down mortgage rates into the 3’s-mid-5s while resales are stuck at 6.5%+• They can offer closing cost credits without triggering appraisal issues• They adjust pricing based on absorption rates, not emotions• Inventory carries measurable costs for them, so they act fasterMeanwhile, resale sellers are slow to reprice and anchored to peak-era expectations.That creates a pricing gap investors aren’t used to seeing.The investor angleFor most of the 2010s, investors avoided new construction because it was more expensive, taxed higher, and offered no rent premium.

have been able to message several new investors and get them away from the sales pitches.i know folks have responded to this thread and said "yes"... but it depends on what your measure of success is.
