My Profile1099 contractor in logistics management / brokerage~7 months in my current role with consistent incomePrior construction management (W-2) background for about 3 years before transitioning into logistics managementSolid credit (700s)Comfortable with documentation, reserves, and lender oversightCurrent Ownership ExperienceI already own a property with a main home and a guest home.The guest home is rented and performing.Current mortgage, taxes, and insurance total around $1,820 per month.

It’s meant to orient.We’re clearly in a transition period.That’s why I keep harping on manufacturing, onshoring, logistics, and distribution.

But, now he's retired and I just don't get the "service" from that firm - to simply ask a question.There a really just some logistical questions that I have.

Avoid speculation areas unless you have strong local boots on the ground.HagerstownLower purchase prices, solid renter demand tied to logistics and healthcare.

or are people retrofitting a prologis type facility you tend to see with traditional logistics? 

Louisville and the broader Kentucky market are especially well-positioned as manufacturing, onshoring, energy, logistics, and industrial development continue to accelerate.Be safe with the storm.

I’m currently building a private executive mobility company focused on high-net-worth and executive clients.The platform centers on reliability, discretion, and asset-backed operations (armored vehicle, licensed, insured).Phase one is being built independently , but I’m open to connecting with investors or operators who have experience scaling service-based businesses, logistics, or real-estate-adjacent ventures.

They already understand tenant-in-place deals, realistic returns, and the operational side, so there’s far less friction.A few things that have helped:• Create a private investor list/program specifically for off-market or “tenant in place” opportunities• Put together a very detailed pro forma using real management data rental history expenses turnover assumptions maintenance trends etc• Set expectations upfront that showings are limited and typically only after an accepted or near-accepted offer due to tenant logistics• Offer portfolio or management incentives for buyers who take on multiple properties or keep management in place• Cross-market directly to owners already under management before going publicThe right investor values the existing cash flow and stability and understands the constraints that come with occupied properties.

Despite logistical challenges on my end, we made it happen.Over the next week or two, I stayed in touch - not as a savior, but as someone willing to walk alongside her while she stabilized.In the end, Ruby was able to stay in her home.No deal.
