No, moderators do this just to give back to the community - there's no stipend.

@Chris Masons I do not advise retirees to leverage I strongly advise they sell for numerous reasons.Higher returns on moderate to low risk income funds, freedom from maintaining real estate, less liability risk, less stress, simplify inheritance, No more demanding/crazy/stupid tenants,  retirement.You will never be retired as long as you own income properties.

An investor might say to me, "I want high cashflow but at least some amount of appreciation potential- my risk tolerance is moderate to high."  

MODERATOR: DO NOT USE THIS THREAD TO ADVERTISE.

MODERATOR: RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY IN THIS FORUM, PLEASE.

(I have experienced a fair number of focus groups here where the out-of-town moderator seemed frustrated by our inconsistent feedback, FWIW.)Ultimately, if a developer can adaptively re-use existing buildings and/or build new projects for middle income folks that prop up the surrounding community -- transit-oriented development, good grocery stores, improved infrastructure, and decent schools -- they would probably do well in outer NE or SE Portland, Aloha/Hillsboro, Troutdale, Gresham, Clackamas, and other surrounding communities.  

I plan to acquire ownership or control of 7,000 units within the next 7 years through a combination of syndication, joint ventures, and personal acquisitions.Strategy – My strategy it to acquire moderately sized (50 to 150 unit) properties in emerging markets that are currently at a C+ to B- grade, as well as acquire large multifamily (160 to 350 unit) properties in stable areas around major industry and academic institutions that are B- to A- grade.

Adam, I hope the forum moderators will not zap me for answering your question by [REMOVED].

I totally respect if someone has a personal reason for not wanting to meet at a place that serves alcohol as a primary beverage and can rework the plan to accommodate anyone with that preference.

Each group has its own moderator and administrator, and they have the right to set the rules for their own groups.
