Real Estate is a long term play. 6.

They have a brand they're trying to keep consistent over the entire portfolio.

they are a non accredited pay to play orginization.. while they do some nice meet ups and have basic info.. does not mean that any lender that pays to be a member is a better lender than the thousands of us that are not members..

This one will cash flow a little when we move out but it was a bit more of a long term play for us (5-10) years, so we need the time to make it worth it.
