It seems to up the credit score, change from reliance on FICO and other matters that squeeze investors just a little bit more.

Now OIL is running out and we (and our leaders) are doing NOTHING to supplant it.The common thread in the case of the Dutch and the English is that the reliance on plentiful, and cheap energy caused a complacence because it was just TOO EASY to keep doing what they had been doing.A couple of parallels to this can be found in the cliche' about the old "buggy whip makers", and simlarly in the case of people who made, and delivered ICE back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.There were probably a lot of players in both industries, and as competition from refrigerator manufacturers and auto makers became intense, the remaining buggy whip makers and "ice men" were obviously the MOST EFFICIENT players in their respective markets.

You alone must determine the paths and rewards you desire.Early in both of my mentor’s real estate careers, they chose to invest in residential rental properties.They expressed to major pitfalls; 1) too much reliance on a single target market, and 2) not fully considering all the associated costs prior to making an offer and ownership.Example of a single market; dependency on military tenants/buyers.

Citimortgage is a national lender that will do it, many banks wont' do loans beyond your 4th due to the onerous underwriting.A local bank doing a portfolio loan can be more flexible, particularly since you have strong experience, though they'll still place strong reliance on the NOI from the tax returns.

@Steve RozenbergThere’s a great feeling of self reliance knowing your building a hedge of protection for your family for the future in erratic markets and uncertain times

If the property owner later redeems the certificate in reliance on the deceptive or unfair practice, the unfair or deceptive contact is actionable under applicable laws prohibiting fraud.501.2075 says that the civil penalty for violating: ...is liable for a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 for each such violation.

Just keep educating yourself, keep becoming more self reliance and the better you do at that, I guarantee you it won’t be as much as a “hinderance” as you suspect it is.

At that point I’ll either get a PM in place, or I won’t mind incurring the sales transaction costs, and either set returns of NNN, or the vagaries of DST’s fees and reliance on their management team not to f**k up the project returns ;)So how has your experience been with property management (PMs)?

Is there reliance on single industry?

Wells Fargo, Guaranteed Rate, Reliance First...are some that come to mind.
