Dan Breslin: Brandon Cobb, welcome back to the REI Diamond Show. How are you doing today?

Brandon Cobb: Hey, I’m back on the show, so I’m doing fantastic. Thanks for having me.

Dan: Nice. In preparation for today’s episode, I’ll reference that buyers can go back and check out your previous episode. The title was Nashville, Tennessee Real Estate Development, and that was in June of 2022. Rather than have you do the origination story and how you got to the place that you’re at today, that’s all on that original episode. But what we were talking about at the time, you were very excited about new construction. You guys had some projects going, and I believe we were in the papering engineering design phase of a land development deal. I don’t remember how many lots it was 10, 20. It was not like a three-lot development, but you were essentially going to put the curbs in here. For the listeners, this is like the Nashville, Tennessee market, Tennessee market in general. You were talking about putting the curbs in and then selling off those pads, I think to individual builders or maybe the national builders. But maybe you could pick up where we left off last time and give us a report on maybe that early or those early development deals with the curbs and the build-ready pad sites went, Brandon.
