The industry standard currently is around 70%, but there are some that will go up to 75% or 80%, but you've got to have pristine credit.

I got into the industry in 2014 with a property management job on Lake Ponchatrain in Slidell, north of New Orleans.

If you’re looking to invest in your backyard, it helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can.

But falling 10/20/30 bond yields don't translate into rising CRE values as down GDP means more store closings, lower NOI, lower office rents/industrial etc, etc.  

Fast forward my entire career has been in construction from residential to commercial to industrial. 

@Chris Blackburn, while I can't speak to this specifically, there are a few red flags I see in your post.1: A Realtor has to be a member of the national association of realtors, an industry trade group primarily focused on your typical home buyer.  

Also, post industry articles.

Would connecting him with a mentor or having him shadow someone in the industry be too soon?

I am specifically looking at a 1985 Connor Industries home.
