Thanks,Gene

Hey @Gene Vityugov I got some people.

I'm an IT tech person who has very bad luck when it comes to trying anything home repair wise (just not in my genes) so I'm not looking to do all the mgt of the properties...just looking for a good partner.I'm in the Shorewood area and if there are any groups that meet up and anyone local wants to get a free drink of their choice on me, reach out!

Either way, I would check out the following:How to Read a Rent Roll - John Wilhoit, Jr.The Due Diligence Handbook for Commercial Real Estate - Brian HennesseyIt's a Whole New Business - Gene TrowbridgeThe Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings - Steve Berges

Check out the book "it's a whole new business" by Gene Trowbridge and also the website  SBREfunds dot com.  

Gene.  

I'm reading Gene Trowbridges book on syndication and realizing there are some potential fine lines in defining how much active management I'm doing versus the other team members, and how that may imply that I need to follow SEC guidelines.  

Draw on Gene Autry.2.
