Real estate investing is a team sport and at different points in the game different players will play more important roles.

Two of the biggest players in this space just folded.

If curious, here are the last two: Jan 2023: Multifamily Real Estate is At Risk of CrashingFeb 2024: Multifamily is at High Risk of Continuing It's Historic CrashI think that the title for my 2025 analysis (likely Jan/Feb publication will be something more like:Multifamily is Finally Going to Hit Rock Bottom in Q2/Q3 2025 - Get Ready to Buy a LOT of itAs usual, I like to publish my draft thoughts here to get input from key players in the space and these forums, especially folks like @Brian Burke, to see if I am missing any high level areas, before I get into the weeds and look at the data more deeply and regionally. 

How cool.Well, It's because I was seen as a player, a closer (meaning I close on deals I put under contract).I said, "I didn't know you owned a building" and to that he said "yes, it's the building with two - first floor retail spaces and 9 apartments on the corner".Dang, just what I love.

Some who are major players doing big stuff.

Prioritizing is SO hard!

It is prudent to collaborate with lenders who prioritize long-term relationships and genuinely care about your success in the real estate market.

I’d also prioritize getting pre-approved, securing financing, and starting small to build experience and momentum.Good luck!

Using these, you should be able to get most maintenance issues addressed in less than 90 days.One other thing, different tenants prioritize different repairs.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed both newbie and seasoned investors get misled by various players in the real estate game, from wholesalers to contractors, realtors, property managers.
