Hi @Joseph Goode I didn't see any responses on this so I wanted to see if anyone did get back to you via PM as I am interested in this topic as well.   

But your subject line is pretty generic, try something that is more descriptive like a newspaper headline, you will see some good responses.

As far as Lance Kawaoka's claim that the reason there wasn't much response to a post about checking on the quality of a large, well-known, super-markety sponsor is that members wouldn't want to declare that they are a high net worth individual just doesn't hold water.

So, How does one leverage this very important area of an investors responsibility and (for lack of better way to present it), market or signal to other investors who may be looking to partner?  

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Best neighborhood and best assets are subjective and largely based on the individuals capabilities (balance sheet, skill set, time etc.)

Simple, point out her responsibility for safekeeping of the property.

Simplify the structure as much as possible, have clear roles and responsibilities that are not overlapping (meaning only one person is allowed to make certain decisions) and a clearly defined exit plan.

Quote from @Lisa Albright: Thanks so much for the response Dominic.

I really don't know the market there well enough to guess the definitive answer but I know when I break down the data in my own market, I see a wide variation in price trends in the individual price bands.
