Hello everyone,My name is Shawn Questa, and I am an Architectural Designer and Real Estate Investor. 

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I've seen many investors get burned because they failed to understand their hard money loan terms/rates, even if they did acquire what should have been a home run deal. 

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Everyone in this Industry at least who sells RE to Homeowners NOT investors knows the cycles and right now the cycle is MORE LISTINGS period nationwide.. then come about Nov.. people slow way down B/C of the holidays and in other markets winter is slow because weather is so snotty..

I am an investor friendly agent, and an investor myself in small residential multifamily in central MA.

With syndications many operators are using finance magic to juice returns, but that can result in full wipeout on the investors.

Getting greedy tends to cause investors to be sloppy and I 100% agree with @Ken M. no good deed goes unpunished in all areas of life. 

As an investor, my goal is to always get the best value at the lowest price. 

Also you have to understand what kind of investor you want to be.
