By year 5 we had around 55 people.We did hire a marketing person but frankly marketing wasn't our strong suit. 

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?

Personally I'm working on a very exciting niche, but will take some time to pull together; and I'll give you more details as it moves ahead. 

lots can go into this somewhat simple question and most of it is personal preference.- you'll want to define "best", and what that looks like for you as a success.- How much money do you have to spend?

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

To answer your question directly: a person should apply (whatever that means in your process) before being asked to screen.

This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

It has to be filed by either myself or an attorney representing me.

This process is done immediately if there is an asset they can show....the wrap note that is an asset.One of my coaching clients is selling his personal residence like this after he gets done with his forensic loan audit so that he can downsize.
