After 45 + years investing in, purchasing and selling notes and real property; structuring “deals”, running investment funds and syndications, I have observed that many (most) investors both hesitate too long gathering too much information before making an offer AND do not do enough investigation, analysis and due diligence before they finalize a purchase.Seems like opposites, right?  

@Michael Noto: Great observation that "Good PMs manage properties in good areas ...good PMs do not deal with bad areas for the most part.

Just my observation. 

From my observations 90% of those who post on the forums about asset protection cannot articulate the risks they believe they are/must protect against with their recommended entity formations.  

Let us know if you're still looking at this one and what you think about the observations Dave pointed out!

he said after 40 years w his clients he's observed that its easy to get into real estate investing and much harder to exit real estate investing. 

Again, nothing I say is legal advice, just merely observations of past clients doing things similar. 

Sellers should focus on emphasizing the unique value of their properties to attract the right buyers in this competitive environment.A significant change has been observed in the median time to contract, which has jumped by 71.4% to 48 days.

Definitely second this - if you were thinking of taking 65% for yourself I would imagine you're pretty new to the STR management space (not a criticism, just an observation).

Is there a program or software that allows you to easily observe all the properties in your portfolio, as well as their details?
