If you want a referral we're glad to share.Best,Mike

My insurance guy for the past 2.5 years has been at wits end because he had to continue to deliver bad news on referrals and estimates for new properties.

Thankfully I have friends and family that have done well, so I think I can pull out a sizeable fund $500K+) without going the syndication route, but I appreciate the comment.Syndicators usually get what in slang is called “promote”.  

Super higher leverage that the purchase can't be approved by agency loan.In all practicallity , the era of 2016-2020 by aggregate should only produce 7-8% IRR if one correctly and conservatively.They targeted the naives investor in biggerpocket that lacks basic real estate valuation.The real problem is really the era of 2015-2020 where folks are treating CRE just like OTCBB pink stock and promoting it as a safe haven.

You have considerably less wall space, and trying to fill furniture into that one big space is often awkward resulting in a lot of wasted space that does not really do anything.And while these open floorplans are often promoted as "family friendly" I have come to the conclusion that they are a double edged sword in that respect.

@Raj KandragulaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Beyond a local CU or bank the next best way to find a suitable location is probably a referral from your RE broker or listing broker.

I find my contractors all through referrals. 

Please no promotions. 

More important than a celebrity endorsement is a referral by “students” who’ve been through the workshop and can vouch for its usefulness.2.
