To build trust in real estate investing, start with learning from books and podcasts, online classes, and by joining groups at local events, real estate meetups, and online chats.

If you're doing straight C class, I have someone I really like but I wouldn't recommend him if you are doing B class or higher.

@Cory J Thornton it will continue as the middle class gets poorer and poorer.

I didn't have a mentor, didn't read books, didn't attend a seminar or classes, didn't even post much about it or asked questions online the first 10+ years.

---So, get a GREAT property inspector NOT recommended by the turnkey company to avoid bias.2) Misrepresenting Property Class - have seen many turnkey providers in Metro Detroit area sell OOS investors Class C properties as Class B.

My question is - does the 7 feet per person equilibrium rule apply to total NRSF in the 3 mile or can that be broken down by class (cc vs non cc, facility age, etc) and the 7 rule applied as a cap to each individual class?

@Julie Bourdon investing should be approached logically, not emotionally.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

What's the prevailing cap rate for similar assets/same class in the area where it's located?

I guess the beef with lots of guru classes is that we can do the exact same pushups at BiggerPockets as we can at an Equinox.

Property managers consistently battled for contracts with multifamily management level fees (4-6% monthly), even while the SFR asset class lacked the best (and most important) part of multi-family: uniformity and density.
