Attend the conferences, networking events, deal making functions.

We attended an OZ Conference in Portland, Oregon where they already have a few projects up a running and have talked with a few contacts about setting up a fund.If you are genuinely interested I would love to connect you with the owner/organizer of the conference.

You want to have a thorough inspection conducted so you can see what issues you will be facing in the long-term, but keep in mind that just because the property is old doesn't mean it needs to be upgraded.I hope my thoughts assist you in your investment.

Any closing I've conducted where my client was forced to purchase under the gun, there was a serious underlying issue.

I recently heard of a conference with top real estate executives that had a panel of 5 millennials.The millennials sat on stage and these executives asked them questions about where they eat, what they do at night, where they want to live, etc.How often is everyone taking millennial activity into account when making investments?

It's pretty easy to see by these posts who has worked with General Contractors successfully and those who have not.When folks condemn a whole profession because they've been "burned" at some point in the past, it just shows how ignorant they are.Of course you need to research whomever you are considering working with and General Contractors are very easy to assess once you know what to look for.Instead of complaining after the fact, get better at conducting your own due diligence.Contractors, like ANY profession has some bad players, BUT it's your fault if you haven't done the proper research.Just a thought.
