Some lenders have internal teams that do these valuations and use a 3rd party to collect the data.  

A lot of people think they can just come to the Midwest, buy C or D property with no team in place and reap cash flow.

Love toledo been investing there for 6 years  now have a great team on the ground could not be better.

Quote from @Paul Novak: BP Team,I am looking for perspective and advice. 

If you are going to self-manage, you need a great TEAM.

He and his team built the app that Quest’s “fancy” 401k used.

Also don't forget you get to add team members which I hope is safe to say you have given the amount of doors you own.

I'm biased, because my team does about 40 of these per year on the buy side.

You LP lost everything.Other ways, poor property management team isn't managing property well, and syndicator bought in tertiary market with only one or two managers available and no way to self manage.  

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.
