I am biased but love Chicago...if I can help please let me know.

Little biased since I am an Accountant 🤣

Some have their biases and others just flat out don't like the policies and regulations.

I'm biased on the Reno, Nevada market because of the job growth and limited starts, and low property taxes.  

I am biased in that I'm a Realtor in Arkansas and own several properties here. 

Best, I'm biased because I own a PMC, but I also own rental properties. 

I am biased but I would recommend Northern Ky (Not Louisville).

The normal progression is:-Your money-Friends/family money-Clunky and ill-formed JVs that arguably violate securities laws-One-off syndications investor-biased-One-off syndications fairly balanced-One off syndications sponsor-biased-Fund constructsAs you traverse this process it gets harder to raise capital, but your costs go down, your control goes up, and the value of your limited time increases. 

A little biased, but happy to discuss Auben Realty and answer any questions.
