The irony of the investment strategy of the average American – including those who meet the definition of an accredited investor – is that the bias toward optimizing for the downstroke and safety robs one from the benefits of individual growth and setting the stage for their future self.

Imagine Tinder (or pick any dating website if you are biased) for real estate investors with the goal of connecting investors into successful mastermind groups.

I'm probably biased as an old GC, but I don't think most people realize how much value you get with a good GC.

Isn't that better than the limited inventory of your realtor, coupled with some potentially biased advice?

I agree with @Richard Neuharth about focusing your time on finding quality sponsors ... yes I'm biased :)

They may have their own biases....

I agree sometimes folks can be very biased and blame everything on the pm.

I am an agent and investor in the Denver area, and I'm bias-- if you want to get started in investing you should first purchase a house hack, get rid of your living expenses, THEN expand your portfolio out of state.
