so many pieces of this delicious pie i enjoy...but, the best part for me is the upbeat & positive comments and remarks and education that is so willingly offered so often. wait, there's more-- the other thing i appreciate alot is how the norm here is for all investors to be as fair and honest as can be when doing deals, transactions, contracts, etc.

That being said, that's not proven, it's just something I would make a bet on.Here are some positives I would look for:- Local character and flavor, these days walkable cities are very popular.- Young migration- New jobs and industries moving in- Business friendly environment- Near other areas that have grown recently- Good schools, universities, or another story for attraction- Cash-flow, gotta make your numbers in the meantime.

Now we pass around defaulted loans like tic tacs claiming there is a flavor for everyone and risk is well mitigated.

Since real estate has always been my secret fancy, here I am.But here's the deal--I know all too well I'm a flavor-of-the-month sort of guy.

If they don’t like they flavor of the cake they’re gone two days later.

@April CengThere are lots of programs out there of different types and flavors.   

To give a little more color on the 506b vs 506c question, that choice will be more about your ability to raise capital, the right flavor of capital to fit your deal, your track record, and how you are viewed as a sponsor, than it is about the ability to publicly solicit.

Choose your flavor.

Thanks for reaching out.Sameer, you strike me as a life coach of some flavor.

I always used to ask for last 12 months of meeting minutes to get a flavor for discussions + financials to see reserves and budgets.
