An important note on asset classes
You’ll notice that I talk a lot about residential and multifamily development throughout By Right Academy.
That’s intentional—but it’s not the point.
Multifamily is simply the asset class I chose to focus on because it was meaningful to me, intellectually interesting, and aligned with the environments I wanted to operate in. The principles, however, are universal.

Retail
Hospitality and hotels
Medical office
Industrial and logistics
Commercial office
Mixed-use projects
Sports-anchored developments
Data centers
Or asset types that haven’t even been invented yet

If you can think like a developer in one asset class, you can transfer that thinking anywhere.
