The Entrepreneur
Serial infill home developer turning 'missing middle' parcels into for-sale duplexes and townhomes across CA, MN & TX. 30+ exits as GP, relentless operator and storyteller with ~31k followers and 58k+ tweets. Boots-on-the-ground hustler now diversifying into small businesses (hello, cleaning company).
Donovan treats zoning boards like a sport and Mylar paper like an enemy combatant, somehow heās negotiated 30 exits but still loses sleep over a 1-inch print error. Also, for a guy with 58k tweets, heās still surprised when people donāt immediately invest after a blue-check nod.
Built a repeatable pipeline: 24, 25 duplexes delivered (with 19 more in permitting) and 30+ GP exits, plus the strategic acquisition of a $140k revenue cleaning business, proving he can scale both real estate and operations.
To build practical, scalable housing and small businesses that create wealth and solve real supply problems, proving that lean, repeatable development can fill the 'missing middle' while giving investors and communities a reliable path to value.
Hard work, boots-in-the-dirt experience, and relationship-building beat slick pitches; transparency with investors matters; small, repeatable systems scale better than chasing one big break; zoning fights and permit chaos are solvable annoyances on the road to building things people actually need.
Relentless execution and repeatable operating playbook; credibility from real deals and exits; ability to raise capital and sell a vision; prolific content output that builds familiarity; hands-on problem-solving in permitting, construction, and investor relations.
Can get bogged down in operational frustrations and rants (permits and Mylar drama), which sometimes distract from big-picture messaging; prolific tweeting risks noise over signal; blunt takes may polarize potential partners or followers.
On X, lean into high-signal, visual case studies: pin a concise 'Deal Breakdown' thread template (TL;DR, numbers, photos, timelines, lessons) and post regular before/after photos and short video walkthroughs. Use Twitter Spaces AMAs after big milestones, publish occasional 5, 7 tweet threads that teach a single repeatable lesson, and cross-promote a newsletter for deeper case studies. Reduce throwaway tweets in favor of fewer, higher-quality posts with clear CTAs (investor sign-up, newsletter, consult slot). Collaborate with other builders and run quick polls to boost engagement; let the construction drama go viral, but capture it into evergreen threads for long-term audience growth.
Fun fact: Donovan has tweeted 58,857 times and grew his platform by sharing every construction war story, investor pitch, and permit rant. Started house-hacking at 23 with 0% down, has 24, 25 duplexes finished with 19 more in permitting, 30+ GP exits, ~31,677 followers, and just closed a small $140k revenue cleaning business.
Very excited to be joining @Buildcasa as their Head of Development to help establish and oversee development operations across California.
I had the opportunity to meet @benwbear at @reconveneLA last year and talk through their mission to bring 100,000 missing middle units in a state with a huge need for it.
With the recent upzoning legal changes across the country, I think there is an unique opportunity to do the dirty work of finding, subdividing and developing scattered site lots, which now allow 2-10 units by-right that the mid to large size builders arenāt going to deal with.Ā
To do it in California is another hurdle, but demand for starter homes seems endless there.
Almost all the homes I see being sold in our target markets are 40+ years old. Some may be (slightly) remodeled, however there seems to be no new inventory of starter homes which I believe will be in high demand.
The Buildcasa team already understands the SB 9 and SB 684 laws better than just about anyone in the country and are uniquely situated to capitalize on the tailwinds of all these properties that can suddenly pencil without taking unnecessary permitting risk.
After consulting for them over the past month or so, Iām more bullish than ever. Their algorithm already identified 2MM+ infill sites that are applicable for being subdivided in California alone.
The ability to scale combined with a superstar team is something I really look forward to doing since Iāve been a one-man development shop since I started.
(plus no personal guarantees š)
Iāll be moving to downtown Oakland over the next few weeks and looking forward to connecting with any #ReTwit members in the Bay Area.
Also reach out if youāre a builder, developer or lender in any major metro of CA!

long re-introduction for the new followers!\n\n- grew up to working class parents who each made no more than $25/hr (still some of the most incredibly hard working people though)\n- my two brothers (Iām the middle) and I all shared a room until we went to college\n- went to Univ of Tulsa for petroleum engineering (hated that we lived paycheck to paycheck growing up so googled the highest paying major and did that)\n- graduated 2019, accepted FT role in Houston at large o&g company (w/ $30k in student loans)\n- within a few months realize no way I can do that for 40 years (commuting, traffic, too tired when you get home to do much else)\n- search YouTube for āsomethingā else (looked at dropshipping, tutoring, Uber, real estate)\n- no friends or family that own businesses or RE so began consuming large amounts of Biggerpockets content and set my sights on house hacking\n- April 2020 (23 at the time) close on a new construction duplex with 0% down loan (didnāt have any money)\n- Covid has hit, very tough to get it rented but got it done (rented it by the room instead)\n- Immediately realize there is not enough duplexes in Houston for the amount of the demand (took me 6 months of looking to close on one)\n- Put together a sh*tty presentation and began pitching investors in FB groups to invest w/ me\n- 40+ people tell me some version of ānoā (rightfully so)\n- a 66 yr old doctor in NJ agrees to get on board (give him 85% of upside, no fees, give visibility into bank account)\n- close on first piece of land August 2020\n- get two more investors from FB groups\n- (no idea what Im doing just winging everything)\n- only thing I felt confident in was the 25% margins (w/o leverage)\n- get up to 12 land parcels with 3 investors by early 2021\n- first duplexes take

excited to be joining @Buildcasa as their Head of Development to help establish and oversee development operations across California. \n\nI had the opportunity to meet @benwbear at @reconveneLA last year and talk through their mission to bring 100,000 missing middle units in a state with a huge need for it.\n\nWith the recent upzoning legal changes across the country, I think there is an unique opportunity to do the dirty work of finding, subdividing and developing scattered site lots, which now allow 2-10 units by-right that the mid to large size builders arenāt going to deal with.Ā \n\nTo do it in California is another hurdle, but demand for starter homes seems endless there. \n\nAlmost all the homes I see being sold in our target markets are 40+ years old. Some may be (slightly) remodeled, however there seems to be no new inventory of starter homes which I believe will be in high demand. \n\nThe Buildcasa team already understands the SB 9 and SB 684 laws better than just about anyone in the country and are uniquely situated to capitalize on the tailwinds of all these properties that can suddenly pencil without taking unnecessary permitting risk.\n\nAfter consulting for them over the past month or so, Iām more bullish than ever. Their algorithm already identified 2MM+ infill sites that are applicable for being subdivided in California alone. \n\nThe ability to scale combined with a superstar team is something I really look forward to doing since Iāve been a one-man development shop since I started. \n\n(plus no personal guarantees š)\n\nIāll be moving to downtown Oakland over the next few weeks and looking forward to connecting with any #ReTwit members in the Bay Area.\n\nAlso reach out if youāre a builder, developer or lender in any major metro of

excited to be joining @Buildcasa as their Head of Development to help establish and oversee development operations across California. \n\nI had the opportunity to meet @benwbear at @reconveneLA last year and talk through their mission to bring 100,000 missing middle units in a state with a huge need for it.\n\nWith the recent upzoning legal changes across the country, I think there is an unique opportunity to do the dirty work of finding, subdividing and developing scattered site lots, which now allow 2-10 units by-right that the mid to large size builders arenāt going to deal with.Ā \n\nTo do it in California is another hurdle, but demand for starter homes seems endless there. \n\nAlmost all the homes I see being sold in our target markets are 40+ years old. Some may be (slightly) remodeled, however there seems to be no new inventory of starter homes which I believe will be in high demand. \n\nThe Buildcasa team already understands the SB 9 and SB 684 laws better than just about anyone in the country and are uniquely situated to capitalize on the tailwinds of all these properties that can suddenly pencil without taking unnecessary permitting risk.\n\nAfter consulting for them over the past month or so, Iām more bullish than ever. Their algorithm already identified 2MM+ infill sites that are applicable for being subdivided in California alone. \n\nThe ability to scale combined with a superstar team is something I really look forward to doing since Iāve been a one-man development shop since I started. \n\n(plus no personal guarantees š)\n\nIāll be moving to downtown Oakland over the next few weeks and looking forward to

long re-introduction for the new followers!\n\n- grew up to working class parents who each made no more than $25/hr (still some of the most incredibly hard working people though)\n- my two brothers (Iām the middle) and I all shared a room until we went to college\n- went to Univ of Tulsa for petroleum engineering (hated that we lived paycheck to paycheck growing up so googled the highest paying major and did that)\n- graduated 2019, accepted FT role in Houston at large o&g company (w/ $30k in student loans)\n- within a few months realize no way I can do that for 40 years (commuting, traffic, too tired when you get home to do much else)\n- search YouTube for āsomethingā else (looked at dropshipping, tutoring, Uber, real estate)\n- no friends or family that own businesses or RE so began consuming large amounts of Biggerpockets content and set my sights on house hacking\n- April 2020 (23 at the time) close on a new construction duplex with 0% down loan (didnāt have any money)\n- Covid has hit, very tough to get it rented but got it done (rented it by the room instead)\n- Immediately realize there is not enough duplexes in Houston for the amount of the demand (took me 6 months of looking to close on one)\n- Put together a sh*tty presentation and began pitching investors in FB groups to invest w/ me\n- 40+ people tell me some version of ānoā (rightfully so)\n- a 66 yr old doctor in NJ agrees to get on board (give him 85% of upside, no fees, give visibility into bank account)\n- close on first piece of land August 2020\n- get two more investors from FB groups\n- (no idea what Im doing just winging everything)\n- only thing I felt confident in was the 25% margins (w/o leverage)\n- get up to 12 land parcels with 3 investors by early 2021\n- first duplexes take about 50% longer than I estimated (why the he*l do I need a driveway permit before I can order my electric meters??)\n- mid construction on my first few is when I get more active on ReTwit\n- share what Iām working on and get a few more investors from here plus going to @REconveneLA \n- this is all on the side of my engineering job\n- leave engineering job to join an amazing start up (Jan 2022) in the resi lending space @build_Upright (currently raising $20MM debt fund w/ $14MM raised)\n- through 2022 and 2023 continue to rinse and repeat building mostly the same floorplans\n- currently finishing up duplexes 24 and 25 soon with 19 more in permitting + 3 townhomes under construction \n- closing on a small $140k revenue cleaning biz this month with @651Michael (follow him to keep up with that)\n\nI turned 27 in September my goal is to continue learning as much as I can over the next few years where building relationships > money at this point\n\nIām hoping this pays off over the next 27 years as I sit here probably with less liquid cash then you reading this
