Now, here's one important point I've learned over the past 7 years - never do business with ONLY  one bank (unless you are only buying a property or less per year) - you never know when the bank will lose their appetite for cash out refinancing or construction loans. 

I have learned to engage the community development office in the towns that I am investing in. 

You are learning an all-too-common lesson: Tenants who stay in one place for many years are typically paying well below market rates, and they start to develop a sense of entitlement.

It helps you learn landlording on-site and also offsets the costs and your living.

Whether it's communication skills, market knowledge, or something else entirely, I'm eager to learn how I can best serve investor clients.Additionally, I'm curious about the best ways to connect with investors in my area.

Online won't get too far to start, you want that in-person.I would focus more on working out the schedule to accommodate what you want to learn.

Everyone above has valid points, but just maybe the low margin will be worth thousands as a learning experience for your future deals.

I will post the building explosion episode here too because there is alot to learn about being an organized Landlord before something goes wrong. https://www.straightupchicagoinvestor.com/podcast/episode-26...

Thank you,I'm new to this type of investing (more familiar with buying businesses) so I'm cobbling together information from brokers, chatGPT and everything in between to figure out what I need to (at reasonable cost while controlling risk profile) complete an acquisition.Facility is in rural Kansas, and is composed of a portfolio of 4 buildings on 3 parcels. 195 unit count - ~10 years old on average, some are newer (2 years) others older (15+ years)I'm trying to learn what I should watch out for in the process and what studies will be needed to get a good level of comfort before acquiring the facilities

I'm eager to learn from your experiences and perspectives.
