*I know the markets really well even better than some local agents.

@Arun Maheshwari we work with clients to find turnkey rentals in Houston, DFW, and San Antonio in TX, but also have 8 other markets we're in across the Midwest/midsouth.

This seamless transaction capitalized on strategic market insight and a prime opportunity.

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

So, I would only recommend doing it when there are synergies to take advantage of such as the partner having a skill like HVAC, interior design, accounting, etc. 2.

Nice to spot your introduction.. what's the biggest hurdle you're seeing in today's market?

We jointly designed the house to their specs.

That seems to be harder in Cleveland than in our other markets.  

So don't beat yourself up, it's not you, it's the market.

Our market is also thriving.
