Practically, you need a new contractor.

Here are a handful of things you get practice with: deal analysis - in order to actually find a deal that meets your financial criteria, you will have to hustle and analyze dozens, if not hundreds of deals.

In practice I always feel like the transaction is forced (either or both asset sold and the asset bought). 

These are great insights and best practices

Lack of good paying jobs don’t allow for much home ownership and most rentals are so run down they practically need gutted, and most renters can only afford Section 8.

@Victor Zhou  I'd be interested in joining the meeting of like-minded investors and share best practices.

@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.

I am not an attorney so you can also reach out to one for best practices when buying multis

Is this standard practice? 

No one can skIp practIce and play well come game day.My thoughts are: Dont over analyze, and just let It come natural.
