It is a small quaint city with a lot of character.

I think if you're going to be in a partnership in REI it takes character and humility to work effectively with other people, just like any other relationship.With that being said I am branching out to take down some deals on my own, but I also maintain my relationship with the investment group and do deals with them.

About me:-I work in the architecture/engineering/construction industry and am currently studying to get my architectural license-As such I love old houses with architectural character... but I'm learning quickly from my 1914 home that they're a lot of work-I have two children (a boy and a girl) with my wife, Elsa.

Lots of older homes that are renovated and have some good character to them. 

Research includes, but is not limited to: location of property, demographics of location, current state of the market, analyzing competitors, understanding common trends and issues in real estate investment, acquiring market competitive advantages (pre-qualification, mortgage pre-approval), acknowledgement of investment costs as well as future costs,I would like to know the source of your statistical data, as knowing who and where the data represents is important.Finally, one of the most important character traits necessary for a successful real estate investor, as well as an entrepreneur for that matter, is adaptability.

I'm attempting to keep some interior character and ad character back to the outside.

I've participated in over 30 syndications deals and what's loud and clear is this is a "team sport", build your brand / leverage others that have that experience you want by being a key part of a team and this will greatly accelerate your brand assuming you are choosing right partners (character, ethics, smarts, experience, etc).

I don't want to spoil it, but there is a good portion of the episode that is about the main character trying to get into a nicer apartment complex but needs to raise her social score first.

The challenge here is this part is all about character, track record, and experience. 

Fortunately I did learn early through Brian Buffini's client appreciation program how important it was to communicate at least monthly with everyone I knew in a way that showed both character and competence.
