@DonovanBuilds Do these all have public utilities if you don’t mind me asking ?

Duplex # 24 that we listed for lease earlier this month Closed on the land 3/7/23 with cash (we’ve never financed land as there’s just too much outside of my control with the permitting process) 3 beds 2 baths each side on a 50’x100’ lot Pretty much same floorplan we’ve done the past few years with an updated front elevation

@DonovanBuilds Hey Donovan I was wondering if all your properties/lots that you buy have city utilities already ? I’m assuming they do. Sewer especially. Where I live is more rural so that is as big a factor as any and makes it tough to do what you do on most lots near me

Very long re-introduction for the new followers! - grew up to working class parents who each made no more than $25/hr (still some of the most incredibly hard working people though) - my two brothers (I’m the middle) and I all shared a room until we went to college - went to Univ of Tulsa for petroleum engineering (hated that we lived paycheck to paycheck growing up so googled the highest paying major and did that) - graduated 2019, accepted FT role in Houston at large o&g company (w/ $30k in student loans) - within a few months realize no way I can do that for 40 years (commuting, traffic, too tired when you get home to do much else) - search YouTube for “something” else (looked at dropshipping, tutoring, Uber, real estate) - no friends or family that own businesses or RE so began consuming large amounts of Biggerpockets content and set my sights on house hacking - April 2020 (23 at the time) close on a new construction duplex with 0% down loan (didn’t have any money) - Covid has hit, very tough to get it rented but got it done (rented it by the room instead) - Immediately realize there is not enough duplexes in Houston for the amount of the demand (took me 6 months of looking to close on one) - Put together a sh*tty presentation and began pitching investors in FB groups to invest w/ me - 40+ people tell me some version of “no” (rightfully so) - a 66 yr old doctor in NJ agrees to get on board (give him 85% of upside, no fees, give visibility into bank account) - close on first piece of land August 2020 - get two more investors from FB groups - (no idea what Im doing just winging everything) - only thing I felt confident in was the 25% margins (w/o leverage) - get up to 12 land parcels with 3 investors by early 2021 - first duplexes take about 50% longer than I estimated (why the he*l do I need a driveway permit before I can order my electric meters??) - mid construction on my first few is when I get more active on ReTwit - share what I’m working on and get a few more investors from here plus going to @REconveneLA - this is all on the side of my engineering job - leave engineering job to join an amazing start up (Jan 2022) in the resi lending space @build_Upright (currently raising $20MM debt fund w/ $14MM raised) - through 2022 and 2023 continue to rinse and repeat building mostly the same floorplans - currently finishing up duplexes 24 and 25 soon with 19 more in permitting + 3 townhomes under construction - closing on a small $140k revenue cleaning biz this month with @651Michael (follow him to keep up with that) I turned 27 in September my goal is to continue learning as much as I can over the next few years where building relationships > money at this point I’m hoping this pays off over the next 27 years as I sit here probably with less liquid cash then you reading this 🙂

West Liberty Hilltoppers’ point guard is sick, but his teammates are saving his seat until he can return next season. #10, hurry home. @ArnoldBrady

@ConnorKern12 Haha not quite

@ridge_young2 As long as I had the chance to win. If winning wasn't a choice I'd rather tie, but if I could possibly win, I'd rather lose trying to do so

@ridge_young2 I would much rather lose than tie

@JackieHuff34 @C_Heet13 Haha that is us if you add in a lot of drugs

@jen__andersen Thank ya !
