However, it is more than fair to obtain that information privately...specifically, deals that have gone full cycle.

I KNOW I can’t predict the future - in 45 years of real estate investing, I’ve been thru some major economic cycles and world events.

So things that are red flags for me may be fine for someone more aggressive.1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

We need restaurants, bakeries, gyms (cycle bar or pilates anyone?)

Educate yourself on market cycles with Recession Proof Real Estate by @J Scott. 

@John Anderson I think its just "off the news cycle." 

@Madison Wilson I have kept my eye on Austin, and as you said, the market has been red hot and I haven't been able to pencil deals.Just like the sequence of Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, real estate markets follow a cycle.

Hard to find another market out there that checks all of these boxes but if you are planning on buying and holding for at least a full market cycle (10-20 years), this is your best bet to maximize your return on investment.

\I also think we are getting close to the top of this current cycle so maybe that has something to do with it? 

Before you do anything, understand the r.e. cycle or invest against it at your peril!
