Have they had any go full cycle where they were the GPs. 

We are self funding these deals, and they were brought to us by a broker.How do you find a deal in this part of the market cycle, when deal volume is down significantly, and there is a ton of pessimism.1.

Yes I believe so,As the US cycle of austerity begins to show up in the economy, we’ll see (as we do now) policies that’ll not only increase taxes but apply “taxation by other means”.

I cycled through several PMs before landing on my best current option, which is a husband & wife caretaking team that deals with my cleanings, takes care of my pool, handles emergency issues, puts out the trash on Sunday night, and sets up and waits with various contractors when things need to be dealt with.

Last cleaning cycle, I had two of my properties with disconnected/damaged vent ducts that essentially vented the dryer into the basement (in one case) or the attic (in the other case).  

In that moment, I knew I had to do something to break free from the 9-to-5 cycle that was suffocating us both.

there are times in every cycle for certain strategies. 

I think agents are willing to take calls from any investor in this part of the cycle.

This works in any cycle as well..
