You're a incredible interviewer awesome questions, just not surface questions depth and solid

[@blackrealestatedialogue]

That means a lot to me, thank you for your kind words. Many hours go into preparing to ask the best questions I can, so I’m glad you see it!

The speaker dream development is awesome project.Many black athletes should learn to invest heavily in this project in various parts of the country. You should take your dream to black actors especially black women. Do not underestimate the power of women investors. This is advanced real estate development.

[@blackrealestatedialogue]

Very well said, thanks for watching!

Appreciate you sharing this information; but your title is misleading And sorta click bait. There wasn’t really a step by step in real estate development. There were nuggets here and there, but as a beginner myself; after watching this video I’m still on page 1.

[@blackrealestatedialogue]

We def walked through certain parts of the process in detail. Development has a lot of components so it would be quite challenging to capture it all in one video. Here is a playlist of all the development videos I have, I think it’ll help explain other components. th-cam.com/play/PLsxFV_zmWDGllhFv__unbC_zFNr0j2vkH.html&si=IaOK5sv71WasL5KX

Workforce housing for low middle class workers. Affordable is for the middle-middle class workers ie police officer, teachers, plumbers, etc.

25:40 when you’re discussing the general partner influencing culture I suppose what you mean is that they are abiding by EEO standards.

[@Visiondrivenllc]
