I have 202 as well but have had yet to learn the rules as I can seldom find players for 101!  

. :)You can pay $6,997 to ask him at his "Power Players" seminar in Maui this November. http://www.thecorco.com/products/power-players-whistler-2016Both of my friends go to this event every year and swear by it.

David - all good advice above.Local networking is key in order to find out who the serious players are.  

One thing about the areas that you're looking at is that there are some very strong, sophisticated players that you'll be going up against.

What we have here are T-Ball players trying to play in the major leagues, you have a lot to learn before playing hard ball.Felix, as to your question about General Real Estate Academy, I'm not violating the policies of BP as to advertising about the training there, it's not a solicitation, but to answer the question and the implications.  

Trying to modify the players to fit your goal is inviting fraud into your world.

I would only add that while they are the majority player, Fannie/Freddie aren't the ONLY secondary market out there.

If you want an image of a big player, dealing in multiple strategies or areas, you have departments.

Improving the comfort and efficiency of the building is part of the deal.That said, the bigger players in our area are not quite there yet - most still seem to operate under the mode of "unload utilities on tenants" to improve the bottom line.  

Diary entry One- I just spent a month doing the due diligence, aligning the management team, developing relationship with key players (particularly the lender), and I am almost there.
