What is next is getting back in the market and creating more opportunity for our clients to ride the next market upcycle.

Hi @Michael ElliottWe have financed about 15 STRs in Encore for a client and I have another friend buying the second largest unit and the largest lot there.

I recognize this is not the sole source of return, but the other sources have their return increase with smaller equity position. 

Most companies would require this type of disclosure since its similar to what they are doingYes Chris I agree - I think if anything it's not illegal state-wide or federally, since commercial lending is NMLS-recognized.

If you have TIE, time, interest, and energy, self-managing is the way to go.Our clients already have jobs - surgeons, attorneys, executives - that don’t have time nor interest in another job.  

They have always been there when I needed to ask a question or work on a deal for a client.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

But after working with him, I realized he was very systematic and mostly cared about closing deals without much care for the client's long term needs.Here’s an example: I had a $10K escrow with the seller—$5K due upfront and $5K after the inspection.

I have on multiple occasions, once with one of my own properties and a few times for clients been able to not only get the money they paid for a property but also gave them extra money in a total loss (protected the equity that has accrued due to inflation in the industry).
