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?

The notes from the Fed’s last meeting (held on July 30–31) included a big reveal: “The vast majority [of Fed members] observed that, if the data continued to come in about as expected, it would likely be appropriate to ease policy at the next meeting.”TP: Keep in mind that the last Fed meeting happened before: 1) the July unemployment rate jumped to 4.3%, 2) July CPI came in lower than expected, and 3) the huge, downward QCEW revisions to jobs growth.

I'd say first identify a strategy, choose a market that aligns with it and establish your Core 4 Real Estate Team.The main challenge I observed is that individuals often lack a clear end goal or strategy or they select a market that doesn't align with their chosen strategy.

I'm an equity partner on four different apartment complexes and have learned a lot from talking with and observing the lead investor (i.e. syndicator) about raising capital and investor relations by being in those deals.If you are fortunate enough to find a mentor, it would be wise to find someone with integrity, who has multiple SUCCESSFUL deals under their belt and believes in consistent and clear communication with their investors.
