I got into the industry in 2014 with a property management job on Lake Ponchatrain in Slidell, north of New Orleans.

The industry standard currently is around 70%, but there are some that will go up to 75% or 80%, but you've got to have pristine credit.

Properties also have specific risks depending on if they are industrial spaces, commercial buildings or multi-family units.

Happy Holidays BP Family - I'm currently working on a seller financed industrial deal, asset on the smaller end (~10ksf).

If you’re looking to invest in your backyard, it helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can.

Fast forward my entire career has been in construction from residential to commercial to industrial. 

Industrial took a small dip but then quickly recovered ( even as interest rates continue to rise ).

@Chris Blackburn, while I can't speak to this specifically, there are a few red flags I see in your post.1: A Realtor has to be a member of the national association of realtors, an industry trade group primarily focused on your typical home buyer.  

Would connecting him with a mentor or having him shadow someone in the industry be too soon?

People were chasing industrial workers on the LNG projects in 2020 and paying outrageous rates for rental housing.
