Ensure your property complies with all local health and safety codes.

And if I am a publicly traded company – then maybe even my shareholders want me to limit my risk to investment properties.

They are going to put in a certain amount of work and their own money on marketing, photos, their overhead costs (agents are independent contractors who pay their own E&O and health insurance, income taxes, MLS dues, NAR dues, continuing ed requirements, etc., etc. all out of their commissions before they get to keep any $), their time, etc. then they also have to split anything they make with their brokerage. $4k would be losing money for me but again it sounds like a lower cost of living area.   

Fresno: My browsing of the public listings makes them seem similar, any personal preference between the two?

. :)Thank you for sharing, that a publicly traded REIT is a syndication, by definition, as is EVERY public company.  

If you get a copy of the seller's deed from the public records and it was prepared and recorded by a title company, their file number is probably on it, most likely in the upper left-hand corner. 

normally from what I've seen on a national entitlement and an institutional level most people avoid deals that don't have public utilities and I'd recommend the same if it isn't too late.

I know sale price is public data, but rental price pulls from zillow rental manager.

@Taylor WatersI would ask him to show you the deals he has done and referrals to other people he has mentoredIt’s easy to do a public records search to see if he is telling the truth.

I'm also a big believer that Health is indeed a person's greatest Wealth.
