I recently just affiliated with a small firm and am ready to do business.

In my firm opinion you have to way the downside "returns" equally or greater to the upside returns.

Listening to BP podcast #212, and I know of a few properties in FL I would love to get under contract, approach a global property management and investment firm to manage the transaction, the property management and the eventual upgrades around the place.

@Jared Williams We have experience in this and launched several buyout programs for investment firms.

My "Day Job" consists of running a marketing firm for realtors, property management companies, brokers, and insurance companies. 

Currently working that 9-5 in corporate finance space in the Bay Area trying climb the ladder, but have long been interested in real estate since my second job in a residential RE firm. 

Don’t put your money into a new market without getting a firm handle on the data first. 

I worked for high end CPA firms for years and unfortunately while we said we were experienced with real estate clients- it was very surface level. 

Needless to say, I’m a firm believer in contributing as much as you can as early as possible to see that money compound every several years.That being said, my roommate and I are “on the clock” with our investment plans.

I have not had this happen before, and wonder how I could possibly give them a firm amount given that I have not done any move-out inspection.
