#126 - Sean Jones: New Construction Development: Rebuilding Chicago in the “Year of the Mamba”

Sean Jones has over a decade of experience in rehabbing buildings and new construction development, rebuilding the city of Chicago, block by block.

Sean’s journey to immense success wasn’t linear; he left the corporate world and started doing rehabs and was very successful until the 2009 real estate collapse. It took several years, but he rebuilt and began mentoring others in the rehab process. Eventually, his desire to grow to bigger projects led to him starting new construction development. And today he has the incredible 2024 goal of 9 completed new construction buildings.

We discuss how it’s possible to complete and sell a brand new 3-unit in less than 4 months. What are the most important things to be successful in real estate development and some of the common pitfalls. And the importance of 2024 as the “Year of the Mamba.

In Kobe’s words: "To sum up what Mamba Mentality is, it means to be able to constantly try to be the best version of yourself...a constant quest to try to be better today than you were yesterday."

Until next time, love and good vibes.
