This cushions potential value drops.Syndicator vetting: Only partner with syndicators who have a strong track record in different market conditions.Market and asset class knowledge: Understand market cycles and the specific real estate types (multifamily, industrial, etc.) you're investing in.Avoid chasing trends: Just because a market or asset is “hot” doesn’t mean it’s solid.You’re right that this approach doesn’t cap your upside, quality diversification can still generate huge returns while managing risk.Best regards,Drago

I will be looking for an "investor" oriented realtor to bird dog properties and areas to invest. 

Jacksonville has a great real estate Facebook page called Yellow Bird Connect.

I've been caught in my PJs, chasing my kids around in the front yard, drinking with a neighbor, etc.  

It feels like the first week of the month, I spend chasing down payments to make sure all of my loans are paid, even though I have everything on autopay. 

It kills 2 birds with 1 stone in the sense that it offers me evidence that the property is cleaned and everything is in place before guests arrive and watching video after guest departs helps me make sure everything is there, and nothing is missing / damaged from last group.

I felt like I was constantly chasing her down for updates, which added a ton of unnecessary stress to the whole project.The design itself was incredibly disappointing.

About 15 years ago, Chase provided such a service, though I am unsure if they still offer it today.

Birds of a feather flock together!
