Any striking trends or shifts that you have been noticing? 

This is important because experience has taught me Partners often have a "Honeymoon" stage that can quickly fade where each partner wants to strike out on his/her own and when the property is sold, each partner directs the Title Company to cut individual checks to individual names.

Market tanks, you’re in the bankrupt stage 2) they have a lot of money to begin with3) they have friends and family with money and strike deals that way 4) they are flexing hard core, ask for proofFor me, i stick to the tried and true.

An agent with a great lender, contractor and inspector in their networks, not your friend or family member starting out.I am 'selling' a cute little house in a hot market on a lease option.  3 couples wanted it and were well-qualified, but had new agents they were friends with, bringing no value to the table  When it came down to needing to up the strike price to pay their agent $7000, they all had to admit the new agents weren't worth the cost and lost the house. 

Regarding the NII comments earlier...there is actually a case in the Supreme Court that MAY strike down the NII as unconstitutional.   

A REALTOR will want a percentage of the sales price, even though they haven't put in all the work.You should also do some research before speaking with the renters and striking a deal.

Multifamily is extremely competitive, and you will have more difficulty in finding a buy ( trust me, it is like striking gold when you find a nice value add opportunity at a good price).

My hat's are off to house flippers, but that game strikes me as an emotional "flip-flop" that I probably couldn't stomach despite the returns...but who knows?  

Strike when overcorrection occurs. 

Kinda nice knowing that every dollar of principle paid off is instantly available when lightning strikes.
