The value of this book is to learn how to recognize the types of people you will be dealing with for the rest of your life.I am a third generation real estate investor, developer, property manager, and financier.

The BP community stands very ready to help and make some recommendations especially if its known that the ask is clear, the person has spent a bit of time educating oneself on options.... some reading (BP, other RE books), perhaps attended some local RE meetups for a few months, founds some areas that made sense, then formulated some sound choices.

We found it helpful to recognize the balance that we were looking for and this helped us research the areas we planned to invest in.

Is the Waterfall Framework the best or only way to recognize each person's contributions?
