So a sponsor that's great for one investor will probably be terrible for another (and vice versa).I'm a conservative investor, so when I invest in real-estate I prefer sponsors that have at least one full real-estate cycle of experience, little to no money lost, low leverage, and high skin in the game.And there is a multi-family operator that has multiple real estate cycles of experience (decades) and it's track record claims no money lost in that time.

And vice-versa. 

I have a particular interest in islands, as my long-term goal is to captain a catamaran and offer tours for snorkeling, sunset cruises, etc.I'm interested in places that offer great ROI without being overly expensive.
