You will need to use the CD/downloaded version to get it to work correctly.

Identify experienced players in storage (there are some on BP) and see if they are willing to take on a “co investor”.  

If this coach is in your market and knows the key players in the market, has used various property managers and can tell you the good ones, knows the loan brokers, knows the risks of investing on this side of town versus that, knows the tenant base for your area and what they are wanting from their apartments and what they can afford, than I would say a coach (maybe not the one you are interviewing) is worth it.  

If it can't beat 5% CD, better to sell , you are selling at the top of the market right now, appreciation next 5 years would be less than prev 5 years. 

This is one regional player, one statewide, and one national.The price of answers to "but what about if..." is a phone call.

Probably need a track record, probably need 30-50% down equity to be a player. 

One can get up to 8% with some big players.

If you have C/D units with a rougher tenant profile on average the additional security could be worthwhile.

However, they knew a big player in the area that would buy it in cash.

I am interested in investing in real estate in the DFW area (specifically Denton) with creative financing methods, and I am trying to expand my network of players in the game of real estate.
