In this short, the speaker walks through a real‑estate investment workflow focused on Chicago’s 10th Ward. They start by showing a map that lists parcels available for bid within the area, noting that many are located in Opportunity Zones. The speaker then explains how they would input the parcel addresses into the Deal Hunter and Discovery tools to estimate construction costs and assess feasibility. Finally, they propose establishing an Opportunity Zone private fund together with a dedicated property‑management company, which would both finance the acquisition and construction of homes and handle ongoing property‑management operations, aiming to make a positive impact in the community.

Hold on. I was trying to see the maps. You flew past. So here you can see like this is a map of the 10th Ward in Chicago. And they've got all these different lots that you can go in and bid on and get the application to buy and then build on them. And then these are the addresses. So we can, we can run the numbers here and put them through Deal Hunter and Discovery on like, what's it going to cost to build there? Stuff like that. So this whole thing is very good for Deal Hunter to chew on and I believe these are in Opportunity Zone spaces as well. So we could open up like an Opportunity Zone private— an Opportunity Zone fund, um, property management company, right? And by, by having that private property management company, we'd be able to, we'd be able to operate the, the business of property management while building these houses to make a difference.
