I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "rear of my assets."...

I also appreciate the time you took to call me and help me understand better how Roofstock operates today as opposed to some of my understanding about the company.  

Hi Lenders, currently in the market for a cash flow management tool to help organize payoffs and broker commissions to get a better understanding of how many more loans I can fund on a given month.

Time and practice will still teach you as you do deals but it will help you understand what things costs for the size of the property 

Understand the multi-family market, scale up portfolio efficiently, focus on value-add opportunities, build a reliable team, stay informed, and engage with the community for support.Good luck!

I highly recommend you play with that tool to start getting an understanding of what things you can do to positively affect your credit! 

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

@Mindy PerryReally doesn't matter what software you pick as long as it has the features you want.Two biggest challenges with ALL software:1) None are perfect, so deal with the tradeoffs2) Most users rarely put in enough time to really understand how to utilize the software.
