From an investment stand point, you can typically gain economies of scale through time and efficiency, market liquidity, transaction costs, concentration of units, management and labor costs, tax and record keeping, and disposing of the property.

I am a newer NJ investor with a concentration on wholesaling for the first 18 or so months.

Part of my portfolio is concentrated in a development of condos that I understand and would like more of.

We signed up but end up cancelling it since I did not feel comfortable paying so much money for it.Can anyone give us some pointers where to start or what would be the first thing to concentrate on?!

Funds can provide diversification for both projects and geography while syndications concentrate risk6.  

Stay out of their personal life and  concentrate on the business at hand. 

I realize they have concentration risk concerns and such, but I was wondering if anyone has a good solution for this so that we can focus our effort more on projects, raising equity, business development, etc. and less on finding a new debt source for each project.

@Lee Babin - Nice to see another member here from HRM.I have a similar story - long time lurker on the forums and have been concentrating on career and education till now (MBA, CPA).

I will really start concentrating on that while still continuing to look at the MLS.

This area has the sixth highest concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters (Boston Globe article).
