(Most real estate has lower cash flow than a 5% cd or debt pay down.) 

I’d rather throw money at a Columbus turnkey player than in a foreign market with unfamiliar terms of recourse.

And insist that the money goes into a CD or something where YOU get the rewards.....

Your journey from New York City to building Auben Realty into a big regional player shows your dedication and know-how in the field.

However, I'd like to start building a some key players on my team.

And when things break, the chickens will come home to roost for all SF/subto/no cash in players or folks who bought into the FOMO without reserves.

Just buy a 18 month CD from Fidelity.

Even if you get a super cash flow properties in C~D neighborhood, you might end up spending more to fix up after each tenant's turnover. 

Agreed, the deals are always to be had if one looks hard enough and know's the game.Don't hate the player, hate the game if you don't know how to play it hehe

My votes are never to sway a favorite member.That's just me but stick around and I think you'll find there are no such issues.As to Michael's comments, BP is great and has better info than probably any one person can dole out, but many just can't read and do, a mentor on a persoanl level in a specific deal can't be replaced by any book, tape, CD, forum or phone call for that matter....IMOBP is worth more than any guru program I know of as to content, so get all you can for free, just takes a little effort.
