Yes, the SW is dry and we will see who hurricane season brings for the SE.

There are individual investors who might lend privately, but not banks or hand money lenders per se. 

But having worked for one of the larger syndicators with about 13k units under management, all in suburban areas of the major metros in SE, the one beds typically did NOT see any noticeable lower occupancy rates than the twos or threes.  

GURUS that go over the top and get national attention like a Pace Morby has done make MILLIONS and I mean MILLIONS there is no need for them to own real estate per se unless they want to for some reason..

🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

That need could outweigh their desire to protect your best interests.Not saying there investment here is a bad thing, per se, just raising this point so that this one element of the deal doesn’t tip the scale to you investing if you otherwise might not.

I don't know if I would call it an investment per se, but it is certainly a large stream of income if done correctly. 

I don't think they did anything wrong per se.

Peter Vekselman has extensive knowledge in real estate especially in the SE USA.

I ended up getting a 200sx se-r and naught a front clip of a Nissan pulsar gti-r from Japan.
