Since there's nothing I can do about that type of risk, I'll focus on what I CAN influence.Diversifying geographically and amongst asset classesOffering multiple investment opportunities with differing strategiesEncouraging investors to invest in multiple offerings instead of putting their entire allocation into one (and to invest with other sponsors too)Understanding that risk increases when I stray further from my core competencies, which means I need to bring in expertise or take the risk myself with my own funds before accepting investor fundsRecognize that properties have flaws, and don't ignore them to make the deal work...if the flaws make the deal un-doable, don't do the dealWatch economic indicators to seek clues to future market conditions and react before everyone else figures out what is going onExercise discipline, don't get caught up in bidding wars that put your successful execution at riskDon't accept unsuitable investors--they must be utilizing risk capital.

Maybe the margins on your rentals aren’t great in his eyes, maybe with your real estate success taxes are going to be an issue, maybe he’s anti debt accumulation, maybe hes unaware that some markets didn’t react like CA during the last recession, maybe you are heavily weighted towards real estate and he’s just trying to get you diversified more.

No more legal size paper, margins for recording data, top, bottom and sides, by the time you have the body of your document, well....few will be on page.

Everyone reacts differently.

You should be able to find an interest rate today for <3%.The service that penfed and b of o (I just call them BO, after the body smell) provide is adequate but can be frustrating.
