Now I have no clue regarding the reserves, cap rates, and quality of his deals but what I do know is that he has made his in fees and is now staring at potentially 3 years of a buyers market.

@Jason Hirko the sellers inherited the property and likely have no clue how to properly maintain the building, or that this is why its not selling (despite great numbers).

My first mentor said that success leaves clues if you look closely enough.

@Eric JamesI'm more concerned about real estate agents and brokers who don't have a clue.

@David Dachtera  David my point is most of the folks out there and most certainly you.. have no clue as to how much litigation costs.. this is at best a small claims action.whats it going to cost to clean a house broom clean.. couple hundred bucks maybe a1k to patch and paint a few door dings.. now if they took a sledge hammer too it like our beautiful tenants do that would be one thing.I have had client think that the holes were pictures were hung should have been patched and painted LOL.. to the buyer it was a disaster to the seller its normal.you really think the judicial system should be bogged down with  HEY my seller left some dog poop in my new home...

I also have no clue about the zoning ,city ordinance or cost to erect a billboard.

Not sure if it’s fear of competition, inventory, not enough worms for the birds- I have zero clue.

The current administration may screw me over, but that is out of my control, so I just keep on investing.This is not to start a new debate or argument or to say “I am right, you are wrong.†It is to state that there are all kinds of ways to make money in rental real estate and most of the so called ‘gurus’ don’t have a clue on how to do it.

If I’m understanding your question correctly, you are trying to figure out how to find other investors to partner with or to lend to you to accomplish your deals.If that’s the case I have no clue if the chicken came before the egg….
