@Justin Eaton - Don't bail on @Dave Van Horn's Mid Atlantic Sumit and there will be ton of investors there who's brains you can pick on transitioning to MF syndication :-P ... then again I'm also bias to see our South Jersey crew well represented at the event!

Both of these leaders did this to convince their followers to toe the line, not to convince themselves.Survivorship bias is, as Wikipedia describes it, "The logical error of concentrating on the people or things that made it past some selection process and overlooking those that did not."

Maybe you invest in SD so you are biased.

But i obviously have a biased opinion.

@George ZavalaYes I am biased to investing here in San Diego.

For same reason dilemma and biased towards single family so that it should not come under HOA.

I'm a bit biased in my opinion, as my property management company manages Hartford County, from Bristol to Vernon up to the MA border.

But, I'm biased...I want to own an Alpharetta investment. 

Yes, in my biased opinion, use a flat fee service to get you on the MLS.

@Jon Hundley There are a handful of very experienced CPAs, EAs here on BP who work with real estate investors (and who are investors) .I would recommend talking to Brandon Hall, Steven hamilton, Jake Hottenrott, Myself (little biased here).
