You can still network and build relationships that way.We are based out of Florida, but we don't usually visit properties even if they are in our hometown because of the time constraints that prevent us from locking in more deals and doing more efficient tasks.

On a lower price point in aim for larger %, I've got more wiggle room on more expensive properties.

4 specifically - is this all residential, larger residential?

I'm new to larger-scale private capital raising (did a little bit with first airbnb project) and am looking for advice.

Also, the larger down payment can be the case depending on the remaining mortgage balance vs. the sales price. 

If you want a small-multi look for a larger house with a guest house (or ADU has they call them in California) and then try to rent it to an extended family. warmest, Susan 

If Jesus came back and got into rentals NO, N-O-B-O-D-Y get's admin access into our system. 2) They want a standardized list for maintenance items so they know in advance what repairs would cost.Being a PMc I'd invite them to acquire any of the readily available construction estimating tools/software out there such as RSMeans, but would not take on such a task as building and maintaining such a database, honestly for any $, it's simply not what we do. 3) They want a copy of all invoices from contractors to us so they can verify we are not marking up more than promised.A-ok. 4) They want to be able to talk to our contractors before work is done (each time) so they can talk contractors down in price themselves.I'd be fine with this as long as they sign a waiver that they own any/all negative impacts that result from such including extended vacancy periods, vendor refusals of service necessitating there own self-search to secure amicable vendor etc etc.. 5) They mentioned that they pay around $300 for full paint in a 2-bedroom unit.... we do not have a contractor that will touch a full paint on a 2 bedroom for $300LMAO!

Having said that, BPCON probably will be a much larger event than Clever Summit.

Some people are trying to save $10k on the project but it cost them 2 or 3 months and they have a lot of time on task, and a lot of personal overseeing. 

And, speculation in the Cincinnati market is not a great idea since we have not YET experienced any serious rollback of prices and the market is becoming saturated with apartment newly available.I think you have to get into the larger properties (16+) to find the B class properties with positive cash flow and those are typically hidden by pocket listings.
