Anthony,You would be surprised by using some old school methods like simply writing a letter like you mentioned. 

If an early buyout opportunity arises, I’m happy to secure a solid return for all involved.

Would that method work again?

Each method has a cost in both time and money.  

It’s refreshing to see someone leveraging both traditional methods and community engagement... it’s a solid mix.

It isn't the metric you can talk about on a national scale, but if you keep buying the same product in the same area it is a very easy quick and dirty method to know how you are doing compared to other buys. 

You could look into house hacking a small multifamily property or partnering with other investors on a deal to learn while being involved.

Good luck with the lawsuit - figure out a way to easily get the greater real estate development community involved since it affects everyone. 

The title attorney involved had open communication with all parties on this and an addendum was added to the contract stating this.   

My interest are house flipping and the BRRRR method.
