I’ve met most of my partners through in-person events because it’s easier to get a feel for someone’s personality and long-term vision.

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

I have just always wondered that when we go to a hotel and they give us bottle to celebrate an event. 

Investment product marketers who claim to be GPs, GPs who claim “ownership”, insurance salesman who claim to be “financial advisors”, people who attended an executive training program claiming to have an MBA, what ever happened to honesty?  

I would add to this account every month, allowing me to pull from it whenever there was a large repair or capex event. 

It's highly unlikely to go that low again in your lifetime. would take another black swan event of monumental proportions.. 

Another "perfect storm of uncontrollable events".With both failed deals they are pointing blame on poor performance from the companies they hired to manage the property and to do the renovations, which raises a few questions:1) how can/should LPs perform due diligence on these to be hired companies?

Search online for “real estate meetups” and check their websites for their upcoming speakers.Networking events.

I try to attend meet-ups as the guy on the other side 😉.

With all this "art" in place, I would guess they knew what was going on and probably have "experience" with the event.
