The first time I was laid off it was traumatic because I my industry and the economy were in the toilet but more importantly, I didn't have enough cash flowing RE, second time.... not nearly as bad, and the third time it was my idea and I haven't lost a minute of sleep about my decision. 

All this is why, I believe, it's a rare thing in the REI industry. 

My guess is that finding good staff in this industry remains hard to find.

This potential merger could significantly reshape the U.S. convenience store landscape, continuing the industry’s trend of growth through acquisitions.

It is a very volatile industry and its experiencing diverging trends.

I have on multiple occasions, once with one of my own properties and a few times for clients been able to not only get the money they paid for a property but also gave them extra money in a total loss (protected the equity that has accrued due to inflation in the industry).  

That’s why I shifted my focus to the Midwest, where industries are growing and property prices are still affordable.

I have seen this time and time again over my 36 years in the 1031 Exchange industry where a Qualified Intermediary puts making money over their clients' best interests.  

RentVine is another company starting out in the industry. 

So I was just wondering if its the industry standard for that type of purchase.
