Yep, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to what gets vote traction or any traction really, and what doesn't. 

For some reason, the groups on the Seacoast never seem to gain much traction or stick around.  

Obviously this is extremely difficult, but automation is quickly gaining traction so i try to account for that.

If you don't have an asset management strategy, I would encourage you to read the book called "Traction" by Gino Wickman.

@Bridget Smith-OsbourneHi Bridget, I recently retired from the Air Force and will tell you the only way to get some traction on this will be to figure out who this member’s leadership (supervisor or commander) or First Sergeant is.

Some of my personal favorites are:Rich Dad, Poor Dad (Kiyosaki)Traction (Wickman)Smartcuts (Snow)

To get traction with a commercial broker in this market, it takes a lot more than just money - people with money are a dime-a-dozen.

I've considered that as an option as well but didn't know how much traction that gets in this space since I wasn't sure if a potential restaurateur would think to look there.

@Adam Hoipkemier while it varies from one deal to another, as a general practice most syndicators start out with a split that favors investors more to get some traction.

You will have a hard time gaining any traction without a track record in real estate, underwriting, commercial brokerage, legal/accounting, property management or portfolio management.
