An investment with an experienced sponsor can mitigate some risks because you are participating in a larger acquisition than you might be able or willing to do on your own (which gives economies of scale), and you get to leverage the sponsor’s experience, judgement, track record, network and deal flow.But it also adds risks by adding an additional component not present in direct real estate investing:  the investment sponsor.

I would consider purchasing another asset in the area for economies of scale and possibly start building out a leasing agent and full time maintenance, if you like the market and area.Best of luckGino

For the last four years we had a stable economy, unemplyment keeps getting lower, continued low interest rates (anything below 8% is low) and a social trend towards renting (although millenials have started buying as of late).
