I would imagine operating in NYC right now is essentially playing with fire.

If you have to ask, you're the one that's going to get played.

Interested to hear how this all played out. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, as well as playing golf, collecting comics and sports cards, and binging the next show on Netflix.I am very excited to meet people with common interests, network, learn, and help where I can.

Each piece has a vital role to play.

These questions might play a factor on price as well. 

This is when hiring or partnering comes into play.

Generally most private money lenders are going to play a lot more conservative but be able to close faster/make a faster decision on lower risk deals. 

The Arbitrage unit that we operate is owned by a friend, so we probably played a little fast and lose with our agreement with her. 

We both lost out to someone that was willing to give the Seller almost the price they were asking because they were doing a 1031 exchange were they had a substantial amount of cash and they liked the property location.This similar scenario has played out for me several times over the last few years because the market was so hot.
