I don't care much about soap and shampoo, but quality TP is something they will definitely notice.

As far as Lance Kawaoka's claim that the reason there wasn't much response to a post about checking on the quality of a large, well-known, super-markety sponsor is that members wouldn't want to declare that they are a high net worth individual just doesn't hold water.

Here is a question i'm wrestling with and would appreciate any advice on: If you plan to invest in an out-of-state market, should you partner with an investing group based in that market... or would it make more sense to simply find the highest-quality mentoring program, regardless of location? 

I would only do this if you can find a quality property manager.

@Venecia BaezRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

It’s more expensive than PropStream, but the data quality is higher.For ARV calculations, if you don’t have access to the MLS, our Backflip App can provide it (it's good).

This list isn’t exhaustive but includes most of the best ways to find quality firms to partner with.Conferences.

Average cap rate for a quality growing market with decent tenants are 3-6% so that’s all your cash flow will be if no mortgage.

If you can create high quality real estate related content, you can attract a large audience and find motivated sellers in the process.

Typically the quality of applicants in the winter months drops substantially as well.
