On the other side of the coin, you have pharmaceuticals companies, who often have negative level of net debt (debt - cash) because if their next break through drug may not get approved and their sales will drop.Thought should be give some thought to what space we are in when thinking about what net debt levels we want (overall leverage and how fast to pay down debt/how much cash to hold).

On the other side of the coin, I’ve been approached by a number of these sites to do a capital raise for my projects.

I just have a different view as a broker and an investor where I can see both sides of the coin.   

For example LA is having a "come-to-Jesus" moment over the homeless issue, and parts of Chicago with the rampant crime, and on other side of that coin there is parts in TX and FL that have a unique force factor in play pressing greater than average appreciation. 

Honestly, there is always going to be risk when you invest in anything whether it be real estate, stocks, crypto, whatever.

Since there are so many aspiring real estate investors, experienced real estate investors, property owners, and alternative asset holders (crypto, stocks, bonds, etc.) in this group, I'm curious about all of your experiences investing and operating.

With a rubber roof (2015), a coin-op laundry room in the basement, separate storage, and parking for each unit.

It's like flipping a coin where one side says "do it!"

Plus, if you are investing outside of your home turf you'll burn a lot of coin on travel expenses before you lock up a deal. 

I bought another property through a turn-key investment co in STL.
