Getting your foot in the door is hard but once in the market, it usually works out if you hold long enough and buy in the core areas with good schools and employment.

Best is my mind is redevelopment in the urban core and specifically Denver proper.

OR Do they have a very compelling reason they MUST sell?

While I realize at it's core HML is asset-based, it's crazy to me that the rates don't adjust much or at all, based on the LTV and net-worth and credit worthiness of the individual guarantor.   

I argued that the NCREIF uses info on core properties (I believed, but didn't confirm), so it is expected to be less volatile.  

As a new landlord don't feel compelled to make a decision on the spot, especially with non-contracted guests in the home.  

I recently listing at house in Richardson, TX FSBO and got a call from a rep at ListingSpark.comIt sounds very compelling and almost too good to be true.  

I am discovering some of the areas I am weak in.Here are some examples:Marketing - Developing a compelling website, pitch book, and other marketing material.Credibility - I lack the practical experience to convince most potential partners.I feel like the solution to this is to put together a dream team of experts for an Advisory Board.

I have an account set up at B&B Lumber and just ordered a kitchen for my home - will likely use them for any kitchens going forward - I felt their prices were reasonable -- I did pay extra to get solid wood drawer fronts and plywood boxes -- I HATE MDF and it is not durable at all.If you're sprucing up existing cabinets - Gel Stain, Stain or Enamel paint.B&B can even sell interior doors (paintable hollow core) with solid oak Jams for less than $100 with an account.  

This space in the mid-sized apartment space seems to be a "tweener" where some of the SFH guys want it and say they can manage it - which they very well may be able to, but it's not their core and hence not their most cost effective business model, as you identified.One challenge for me to going bigger because I will not be able to get the required 25% down payment for anything above about $3.5MM.
