If you live in an expensive market, this episode with Ricky Beliveau is a must-listen. Ricky shares how he used FHA loans to get started in the business and how it eventually built a large development business and buy and hold portfolio in Boston, MA. We talk about the importance of building "deal flow" vs. just finding deals, why relationships are so important, and how social media helped to grow his business.
