Hey @Adam Eckhoff - I'm a broker, investor, and run my own REI firm in NYC. 

As a start up building firm, a business plan with a worst case, best case, most likely case financial scenario played out for a seven year term into the future- will probably reward you with more specific dollar amounts that you could potentially earn, then simply picking large dollar amounts and asking how do I get to these figures from this small borrowed amount I have.

Keep in mind there are brokers/placement firms  out there who can serve as a conduit to the family offices, pension funds and insurance companies and the cost of those placement services are going to be significantly less than the amount of effort and expense that goes into the this new breed of syndicator.

Definitely seeing the wave of DIY hosts waning a bit now that competition is increasing. 

Hello, I am writing to request any recommendations for great Property Management firms in the Greater Charlotte area.

Outside of real estate, I am a CPA, working at a small firm that specializes in forensic accounting and attest services.

In addition, I manage a 600MM book of business at one of the top 4 firms. 

I work full-time as a CPA audit manager at a Big 4 public accounting firm, and in my free time I would love to help and learn from an experienced investor with strategies similar to what I’m interested in (appreciation, single family (potential multi family), mid-term rental (potential short-term)).Open to any advice as well on how to make my first leap into actual investing!

That's who our firm recommends to most in this space!
