An investor needs to utilize their knowledge, expertise, and experience to be BETTER at assessing value than the 50 other investors chasing the deal.   

I’m open to advice, networking, and learning from anyone who’s willing to share their expertise!

Your insight into a particular market, combined with the expertise of your partners, will be far more advantageous than simply following trends.

I would highly recommend finding a syndicator who can bring you in to help on some aspect of the deal where you can bring some expertise or assistance.

Thank you all for sharing your expertise and experience .
