I have an example from my own experience, radio channel is a great avenue for deals (maybe in your market, I would look into it), and in many markets, it crushes.

Talk soon!

I'm glad I said I had to talk it over with my financial advisors. :) 

Hi Joshua, may i contact you to talk about the Cleveland market?

No discussion of finding real estate sponsors would be complete without talking about crowdfunding.

Talk with the lender and tell them your plan.  

I'm invested in those markets and I'm happy to connect and talk more about my insights!

When your interviewing companies I'd suggest to ask about maintenance, and even talk with leasing agent as well. 

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).

@Marie CopulHunker down and pare down your lifestyle expenses as much as possible so you can replace what you need as quickly as possible.I did have a client take down a 57 unit mixed use apartment deal that added $1.1M to his net worth and $180k a year in cash flow in 12 months but those types of results are not typical.However, some type of commercial real estate would be my suggestion and one where you are driving the ship so you keep most if not all the equity.I have some ideas for you and would be happy to talk you through them.
