Well a inexperienced go getter is not a bad thing.

As mentioned, generally that is not most HML's cup of tea.  

With that in mind, the inexperienced buyers do not get a shot at it. 

Good point @Ben Leybovich  I'm not a big shot investor, don't own hundreds of units (yet) and after 7 years of investing, getting a realtor license and dealing with tenants; I just now feel I know enough to take the next step and get a small multi-family (under 75 doors)Call me conservative, cautious, scared or insane but reading posts in this (wonderful) community of young, inexperienced wanna investors aiming at apartment buildings as first investments with 16K total cash reserves or questions like "how to start with no money at all?"

Then again while I'm very inexperienced at this point, the plan isn't to just buy one.

Experienced rehabbers who are putting significant amounts of their own funds into solid projects represent much less risk than inexperienced borrowers who do not have their own financial resources.

Not too shabby in my inexperienced opinion. :)More and more businesses are putting down roots in Valdosta as the city expands, so I'm guessing rents will only go up in the next several years.

Not really my cup of tea to go that far.

However, when I see what I consider an inexperienced team try to raise funds last summer on one portal (and fail) pop up on yet another portal nine months later, with the same "experienced sponsor" mantra, something is amiss.Don't get me wrong, I think there is a need for CF and it will continue to grow and offer opportunities, but what you said rings very true. 

these guys aren't inexperienced, by their own account they have flipped 30+ properties in KS they have property in Toledo and are looking to invest in other areas of the country.
