Your journey from New York City to building Auben Realty into a big regional player shows your dedication and know-how in the field.

However, I'd like to start building a some key players on my team.

And when things break, the chickens will come home to roost for all SF/subto/no cash in players or folks who bought into the FOMO without reserves.

Agreed, the deals are always to be had if one looks hard enough and know's the game.Don't hate the player, hate the game if you don't know how to play it hehe

I believe a google search yielded the largest management players and a few conversations with them gave me a good idea of how everything worked, though things are hazy now as it's been over a year.  

As someone who works in private equity/private credit, I can attest to the fact that they are major players among the large institutional investors.I work as a fund accountant and performance metrics are a large part of what I do.

Have not done any business with them but did have a sit down with the owners last June when I made a brief visit to Cleveland .. and was impressed with their knowledge definitely seasoned players in the space.

I own 4 acres right next to the Graton Casino  that could be my next project put in about 100 apartments and call it a day.. won't have great returns 5 to 6% but I will get them and not have all the stress and drama like what your going through...

Shortcut your learning curve by learning from experienced players who do what you want to do. 2.)

Telling my son who wanted to be a professional football player that he would never be a pro football player didn't go over well either.
