Was NOT expecting you to share this with the community. Thank you so much for the kind words and trust. I'm excited for you!

@Jordan Mead let's go!

@Drew Phebus do you have any private lenders who have seen your work and would be willing to lend to you on a new build like this one? Private lending is 100% a relationship business.

@Sharn Robertson so the only real solution I have been able to figure out for the group is FRACTIONAL. Here is a quick 7 min video explaining it: https://www.skool.com/b2r/fractionalapp-pt-2?p=77169dca The basic gist is this: - We all pool our collective resources, network, friends, family - The pitch is simple: Lend us money for a minimum of 12 months. Whatever you would like to do. $10K minimum. We can pay 12%. - We create an "investment club" for duplex building - The cost is $3K to create the club. - The true cost to us for use of the money is 15% because Fractional charges 3%. - We have 30 days to raise as much money as possible. - The club lends your LLC a first lien position secured note at 15%. - We set the parameters and requirements. The club "investors" vote on who gets funded. - Fund gets closed once you are done with the project. Unless you have private lenders who trust you, you're probably going to have to "partner" with someone for your first build. No one is willing to take the risk. Fractional gives us the freedom for us to lend to some of us in the group. Ball park loan amount for each build is $250K - $350K depending on where you are in the US. Loose ends: - Who is paying the upfront $3K? - Can we collectively raise several million dollars at $10K at a time from different people in our network for a 12 month commitment? - If we are only able to raise $200K, that's hardly enough for one duplex build... the $3K is wasted and the 3% Fractional fee is wasted if you give the money back. - Who is legitimately ready for funding? - Who is legitimately ready to actively market for lenders? Final notes: - It doesn't matter how you break this down... it takes effort to raise the money. - No lender with the depth of resources to lend to all of us is willing to take on the risk to lend a ton of money to first time builders. Let me know what you think.

@John Pogue this is for sale bro! Let me know! J/K. Thanks for all the support always John!

@Verneen Bokori all good! Great to have you back! Thanks so much!

@Jessica Grant yes and it can be anywhere between $15K - $25K to scrap it all. So.. if the max you can pay for a vacant lot is $100K, then you can only offer $75K - $85K because you have to take into consideration the demo of the structure or the clearing of the land.

@Jessica Grant interesting... I'm going to add that to my list of 43 topics for top of funnel short-form content. Thanks for the reminder. I sometimes don't realize that what's "normal" for me, others could use a quick tutorial on...

@Tashawna Nicole sure does!

The white and Navy blue also works well I think.
