The market was much more active at the time though than it is now, so it could be easier now.

Are hard money lenders active in the area.

Quote from @Feroz Penangwala: Hi everyone, I’m curious—how many of you are actively closing real estate deals right now?

The majority of our expertise comes from experience and having a specific book of real-estate clients who are involved in a wide variety of activities.

Currently, I’m actively expanding my portfolio in Austin, Tempa, Dallas, Houston, where I’ve seen significant growth and demand for multifamily housing.

This may be why many of you are experiencing delays in redemptions and distributions.In the fund which I co-manage, we've stopped foreclosure activity on many of the non-performing assets since it doesn't make sense to pay our legal resources for activities that are in moratorium.

I’m also looking to connect with other local investors, real estate agents, and anyone who’s active in the Pittsburgh market.

It is not uncommon for syndicators to list properties they were passive LP investors in, and for sure to list properties they were/are also a part of GP, with limited/minimal active management roles.

I met this real estate agent on facebook, seems very active within the real estate community in that particular area based on the posts she's engaged with. 

There was a BP member who was quite active for a short duration that presented hi use case for RE not being a good investment compared to other investments especially ially stocks.
