I have lots of clients in the same boat- just getting started and trying to make the best possible choices as they move forward.

Gabriel I myself am originally from NY (Long Island) and specifically came to Lexington in 2010 for the real estate market.Most of my clients are from the Tri- State area.

As of late I have become a bit jaded with the business, specifically dealing with architects and clients, which is a major source of inefficiency. e.g when a simple design decision takes over a week to make it tends to slow things down a bit:) I do love building and it is a satisfying creative outlet for me.

My client's generally don't shy away from a property just because it is occupied.

I have passed on some good cash flow but it was because the properties were in bad areas or really bad condition and therefore would make an exit strategy a lot more difficult. 

Almost all of my retail clients are using conventional loans.

I have noticed that my real estate clients (especially those who are out-of-state) do use craigslist ads to sell wholesale properties.

I don't focus on residential or TK but when looking at those properties and areas look at various companies  and compare and contrast risk versus benefit.In those bad areas to find a good property manager you might have to pay 10 to 12% or more management fee as the tenant is more intensive and more difficult to protect the income stream.

On commercial properties for instance when my clients look at a 10 unit strip center putting 25% down the break even occupancy might be 65%.
