Real estate is NOT a passive investment and requires lots of analysis and education.

Education.

@Kenyatta Barthelemy it sounds like you are doing the right things to get educated and meet knowledgable people. 

I am a new investor so trying to educate myself about the various, creative financing options.

BP is a great place for education and networking. 

These appraisers are too educated as in general this rule is virtually never applied on MF lots (I have heard of it once).  

They typically provide education and also have classes/courses to take.

If not, then you are not ready and you need more education/mentoring.Good Luck - You can do this!

If a company is performing poorly, they should allow to break up for the release.Failure to do these kind of things...results in bad publicity for the company like this post does.Thank you for sharing your experience.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.
