I’m so grateful for all of you! We’ve made some amazing strides as a group and community this year. We have people who have purchased their first lot to build on @Teoy Thompson @Drew Phebus We have people who are evaluating the lots they already own and will be starting to build soon @Richard Salinas We have people who have actually completed a build in 2025 @Barbie and Bobby Dash You guys inspire me! B2R Crew, Juan-

Hey B2R Family, Long post alert! Since my last update in September, I’ve been steadily pushing forward—with a hard hat in one hand and coffee (spike of irish cream) in the other. 😅 I’m happy to share that I officially closed on my first lot at the end of October, after what felt like a mini legal marathon (multiple negotiations and contract redlines—consider it my pre-construction workout). Since closing: - ✔️ Soil test completed - ✔️ 811 dial-before-you-dig submitted (except I think they forgot to mention the emotional digging involved) - ✔️ Learned I needed to inform that a utility pole currently sits on my land like it owns the place - ✔️ Survey done before close, later discovered to be incomplete—thank you to Juan and the structural engineer for catching that before I built over an easement. 🙏 That updated survey (showing proper setback/easement detail) is now the final blocker before plans can be completed and submit the first permit for turning dirt. My goal for this year was secure a lot & build a duplex by year-end. Technically: lot secured ✔️, build started ❌. 😭 This year, I: - Spoke with four potential construction lenders (no final commitments yet, but we’re getting closer) - Continue sending monthly progress updates to my lender list, which keeps growing thankfully, unlike interest rates 😬 - Am transitioning the other side of my current duplex into Airbnb /mid-term rental as well. - How to mention what I'm doing to any and everybody who will listen - I’m looking to align with a lending partner or investor willing to support a high-capability, first-time ground-up builder. If you’re open to talking about financing, creative structuring, or strategic partnership,let’s connect before the utility pole starts charging me rent. 🙃 And yes—I’m still working full time. Because why not build generational wealth and drive enterprise initiatives simultaneously? Despite delays, I’m still excited. There are lessons, laughter, and the occasional “what was I thinking?” moment. If 2025 was the year of soft costs and soil tests, 2026 is the year of permits, power tools, and progress + more duplexes.

B2R 2025 Holiday Connect is officially happening at Top Golf – Spring, TX 560 Spring Park Center Blvd Saturday, 12/13 | 2–5 ish PM We’re going beyond golf, beyond appetizers… We’re connecting as builders, deal closers, land hunters and spreadsheet crunchers If you haven't RSVP’d yet — you still have time to join us! We’ll talk goals, wins, challenges, funding tactics, and making 2026 the year we: - Break ground more than we break budgets & - Close deals faster than we close browser tabs 💡 Rumor has it… there may even be a pre-game “inform” to Juan’s construction sites. Yep, he's not just coaching, he really does find deals, close deals and build over and over. 👀🏗️ If you’re building, planning to build, or still recovering from your last build — you belong in this room (or bay 💥). @Candice Jackson @Jennifer Junco @Tunde Smart @Richard Salinas - thanks for confirming Message me or Juan ASAP to RSVP — we need your name on this list. Let’s swing, connect, and strategize our way into 2026. Let’s go! Teoy 🔨🎄

To all the veterans out there… thank you for your service! I was honored to be the speaker last night at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball for the 250th! I’ll be back to update the duplexes today! Sincerely, Juan
