Join me, Jason Foreman, as I sit down with Amir Peleg, a prolific real estate developer in the Atlanta metro area, to explore his incredible journey from accounting to building thousands of homes. Listen in as Amir recounts how reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and working as an accountant in the real estate division of a major firm inspired him to transition into real estate investing. We discuss his initial foray into property rehabbing and his progression to new construction, beginning with his first project in Birmingham in 2012. Amir shares insights into his strategies for navigating the often tumultuous real estate market, including selling properties to both local buyers and foreign investors.

In our conversation, we also tackle the complexities of developing new housing projects in smaller towns and the critical importance of thorough due diligence and community engagement. Amir emphasizes the value of building a competent and trustworthy investment team and highlights the unique challenges of remote investing. We discuss the fluctuating market conditions, such as rising costs and mortgage rates, and how these factors influence long-term strategies. This episode is packed with valuable lessons for anyone interested in real estate development, from the importance of local market research to the necessity of continuous learning and adaptability.
