They appear to be very active in the industry.

Love that you've had plenty of experience in the real estate industry. 

You need to have sources (agents, wholesalers, GCs) that bring you opportunity that they have mined and they are bringing it to you cause they know you buy.To the vendors of the industry: Agents, Wholesalers, GCs, PMs, what have you...you are nothing until you buy something, until then you are window shopping. 

@Constance Kang well you discovered how many of the most expensive REI instructors work in this industry.

This is actually something I see as a benefit because it shows that the city is interested in facilitating the growth of that industry, and it's much less likely now that they would do a 180 and try to limit usage

You are wise to limit your scope to a particular type of company.I have been in the industry for the past two decades, and from my years in the business, I can recommend a couple of other companies outside of my family. 

I'm still learning the industry,  but I have been able to partner with a CDC based out of texas and they have been a great help and they have allowed me to get involved with getting investors for their project and I'm definitely excited for it.  

Keep in mind it's still new so the industry is trying to figure it out. 2.
