Still in his twenties, Dirk has engaged in significant development projects, and his family is known for their top ranked resort in Oregon. Ryan expresses admiration for the transformative process of turning a $10 million piece of land into a project worth billions.
In development, the main difficulty is the fewer deals compared to other real estate strategies. Dirk explains his approach to raw land, where he only pays 10% per unit based on the land's future developed value. This method helps attract investors, and Dirk particularly favors developing apartments due to the relatively short 2-year timeline for completion. He highlights two critical considerations in development: construction costs and debt structures. Locking in debt helps mitigate the impact of potential interest rate increases.
Dirk underscores that, unlike other real estate ventures, development doesn't yield immediate returns; profits come upon exiting, which could take several years. To ensure cash flow during this period, Dirk diversifies with other business ventures, including a construction company used for external deals and personal projects.
Assisted living, especially in memory care, is discussed as a lucrative niche due to consistent income streams, with government support adding stability.
Dirk advocates a growth mindset and believes in investing in coaching to learn and progress in desired areas. He aims to provide genuine education for those eager to learn and take action.
The conversation delves into the challenges of starting and hosting events, with both Dirk and Ryan sharing experiences and emphasizing the learning curve involved. Ryan shares his considerations for a potential golf course development, exploring locations and possibilities.
Dirk emphasizes the importance of building a strong acquisitions team and fostering relationships and a reputable brand to attract deals and collaborators.

As someone who builds buildings just like this, everything Dirk said here was totally on point: how equity raises work, locking in your perm rate at construction loan closing, initial cashflow not being huge but long-term benefits of holding these new assets (higher cashflow, refi opportunities down the road), cost seg is HUGE and has been huge for us - being able to take big chunks of depreciation. The only thing I am skeptical of is 28% expense ratios but maybe if property taxes are low it's possible. Seems a tad low or maybe I am just being jealous.

Bro. This channel is a joke. Dude basically leveraged pandemic and videos while we are all just catching up to that.
First comment! 🎉 I hope everyone watching this video and reading this comment good luck and success in real estate and any other field they are researching .
Riviera Maya you can build 5 floors with rooftop around $2K fully furnished vacation property. Due diligence will help, and there are always many opportunities. It's growing in momentum and many investors buy land as well 3x.
I’ve been in real estate development for 10 years 15 in total with construction during the pandemic I was trying to scale

How did it go for you?
Keep coming back to this video and finally finished it. Its inspired me and has given me visions for the future of my career. Thanks Ryan, and Thank you Dirk.
Great Video. I Absolutely love the Development side of RE. 4 years in, however, Industrial is my favorite. Too many moving targets on luxury apartments/Retirement/assisted living homes.

How did you get started in that field? Did you have a team in place? What did the initial jump look like? If you don’t mind me asking…

The way they say normal is like in the end of the curve where as everyone is at the start or middle. Less than 1% are even close to after middle. 😶
I have an idea that can turn a home owner into a builder
Interested to know if quality care will be provided to the folks staying in the memory care facility? I’d hate for this to be a money grab
Always, always...get entitlements before closing
Love your videos!

You know already, pay the right people and get fast license to build:)
No way 28-30% expense ratio, guy will loose this place if a tight time comes, should be 40-50%
Ryan you should definitely make your first CRE development an international one. I hear the Bahamas is a great place for American developers to go and come out profitable! 😂😂😂😂😂 Dirk to his credit despite being born into this without having to what many of us others have had to do with having deep pockets from family and built in relationships which is an absolute cheat code in this business he seemed very humble and came across to be fairly well versed in certain areas accept that expense ratio comment...yikes.
Ryan check out Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
