I've been an investor for 18 years but transitioned to commercial 8 years ago and the deal flow side of things is way different than 1-4 family residential.

Managing real estate, and doing it well, is an entirely different story.I would keep your eyes open for a book that teaches you how to manage well.

The difference between MKE and Chicagoland does not warrant the extra effort that comes with going remote.Everything gets so much more complicated as soon as you can't swing by your property after work.

Yikes, very different experience than what I've had with the judges in my area.

Im noticing investors are very different and each have different criteria for what they are looking for in a flip.

As for one of my other operators, I am invested into REM in 3 different deals.

There is a huge difference!

Are loan docs attorney prepared or prepared in house...big difference on costs there.

Lastly, if he ends up failing to pay rent and is one month behind on rent, do I make him pay both months together as one payment or accept 2 different payments (one for each month)?

Maybe we're defining pent-up demand differently.
