Look, if you're sitting on the sidelines wondering: - is it a good time to build? - is it possible to have multiple exit strategies? All you have to do is look at today's mortgage rates. The most popular is obviously the 30-yr rate... 🔥🔥🔥 IT'S AT 5.81!! 🔥🔥🔥 And this is up 7 basis points from 5.74! Get your build in THIS year. Build 2 Rent is easy with these low rates. Build 2 Sell, you have more buyers looking at your duplexes to buy. You can set up a time to talk so we can work together to build you one ASAP. Book a call here. Let's go! B2R, Juan-

This is EXACTLY my process for analyzing lots to build on y'all. Save this post. Tab it. Let me know what you learned. Re-watch it. I've done this for years so it's easy for me but I go through this process every time. Let's go! Juan-

Hi guys I’m finally able to post my own post since skool limits you until you get enough points when you join lol. I just wanted to introduce myself since I’ve only met a few of you. I’m @Richard Salinas wife! I’m a real estate broker but I’m an investor first 😊. I manage our rentals and my goal moving forward is to fully focus on ground up builds. Where we are with our current ground up duplex projects: @Richard Salinas and myself are ironing out a couple of other real estate transactions this month so that we can fully focus on our duplexes. We already have 2 vacant and cleared lots with surveys and we have 1 ready with plans. We will be solidifying the funding and getting permits approved for Q1. I’m hopeful that we should be breaking ground by end of Q1 so we are super excited! We will also try to document everything as well so y'all can keep us accountable 😊. Our plan this year is to build 2 duplexes from the lots we have already started on and pickup 2 more lots/start 2 more duplex projects before end of year!

Hey B2R, just thought I'd introduce myself to the newbies to the community. I joined the B2R community on 8/30/24, back when there was a nominal fee, because I was looking for real support and real knowledge as I stepped into Build-to-Rent. What I found went far beyond that. Juan freely shares invaluable insight, not just theory, and consistently shows up for the community. He also does weekly late Thursday night calls, making sure students feel informed, confident, and comfortable asking questions as they navigate this space. What I appreciate most is Juan’s approach. He’s passionate, but always objective. He doesn’t tell you what to do, he walks you through your options, explains the trade offs, and gives you the space to make the best decision for your situation. That guidance has been instrumental in building my confidence as an investor. If you’re serious about Build-to-Rent and want education, support, and a community that truly wants to see you win, this is it. The community has very experienced builders, those that have done remodels, rehabs or those just getting started in new construction. No matter your starting point, this is an awesome, respectful community to provide the support you need. I'm rooting for us all, one build at a time! My B2R 2026 motto - “Faith in the Plan. Discipline in the Build.”

Tell me why I woke up this morning in full corporate mode… checking emails, planning meetings… …only to realize I’m OFF today. 😂 The W2 brain is strong. While I’m still W2 for NOW and building in parallel, I’ve been deep in plan reviews. Shoutout to @Juan Cristales for helping me read my plans in a way that doesn’t send my stress levels through the roof. Instead of:“OMG this needs to be perfect and Pinterest-worthy and luxury and…” It’s now: 👉 What’s need-to-have vs nice-to-have 👉 What supports the appraisal? 👉 What supports the end game? 👉 What actually moves me toward 4–5 sets of duplexes… and eventually my event space vision? That mindset shift alone reduced my stress 50%. Still in pre-build mode. Still networking. Still sourcing lots. Still operating my duplex. Still working full-time. End goal hasn’t changed: 🏘️ 4–5 duplex sets 💸 Scalable build-to-rent mid-term portfolio Quick question for the group: For those not building full-time yet — how do you stay locked in while juggling your W2? @Candice Jackson @Tunde Smart @Kwame K.Dadzie @Sharn Robertson @Richard Harrison @Jordan Mead anybody else? Basically: W2 by day, Builder by destiny. Because some days it feels like this caricature.
