Even with some people I believe are honest, I simply believe most do not properly analyze and manage risk, as is evident with nearly every syndication doing capital calls right now because they didnt properly plan for rising rates.Dave Van Horn however, along with his company PPR one of the few people I trust in the real estate space.

The equity market is a fine comparison, but the reality is if you think every 5 years you're net return will be 90%(not sure if this is pre or post tax) then you can choose that route but you have to mark it to that return annually which is a reach.

I am looking to focus my investing on the commercial space specifically value add apartment complexes.

@Mark CruseSo where's that slasher buried?

I was just hoping to transition it into LTR and since we have newer furniture that fits the space well, it just seemed a shame to sell it all to do an unfurnished LTR, but again, I'm having a hard time understanding how logistically some of the details are worked out with that with furniture involved in an LTR.Thank you again for the support!

My education background is in computer science, mathematics and some corporate finance, as well as have some internship experience in the quantitative finance space.

If you'd like to talk more or hear my thoughts on some of the other syndicators in this space, please DM me. 

So far, it’s going really well, and I’m glad we made the shift.For me, the decision wasn’t about issues with self-managing but more about freeing up time and mental space to focus on the next steps in our investing journey.Curious to hear others’ experiences as well!

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.

I also want to purchase and repurpose unused spaces around various metro areas myself someday and I figured what a great way learn by helping someone else succeed.
