Is the goal with rental properties to create immediate financial freedom, or is it to provide for retirement as part of a diverse investment strategy.

Going to diverse and multiple meetups is a great way of networking and building relationships. 

That cultural desire expresses itself in incredibly powerful ways.

Is it in a growing area or is it in a successful town/area that also have good economic diversity, population growth?  

Mr Cardone who is real estate guru take the cash 98% from friend and relatives, just 2% from others.There is an important point which no one pointed out in this fourm, which assest diversity, it is so dangerous to put all the cash on one industry like real estate, because like any industry, there is good and bad time.

Personally, Integrity, Track record, Conservative culture, and Interests alignment are key when selecting a firm to invest with.You NEED to feel great about investing with a certain company, you need to feel that you can actually trust them and sleep well at night knowing that not only do you believe in the product you invested in, but the people behind it.

As a millennial myself, I can relate to this trend as I have seen more and more of my peers move to cities for both the culture and job opportunities.

To use the results to convey to both our bankers and potential Private Passive Investors that we would be good to partner with - We have superior properties, management, and overall company culture to stand out in the rental property space. 

@Hae Sun YiThe whole city of Chicago is hard to compare directly to a town like Naperville as far as rent values, property values and taxes because the city of Chicago is so large and diverse one neighborhood compared to another is really like comparing Naperville to another suburban town. 

My area of focus is multi family, and we own 57 units in Abq.The city is very diverse, there are some great neighborhoods and some less desirable ones.
