Both my brother-in-laws live in Greenville and one is airbnb-ing his old primary residence and doing pretty well.

I am trying to network where my brother now lives yet that is not that easy being 6 to 7 hours away.

@Jorge Ruiz let’s rock and roll brother!!!!

I know neighborhoods where most are sold FSBO because you just mention you might sell in passing with a neighbor and you've got 5 families calling you saying, my daughter/brother/best friend will take it. 

Hi, my name is Jeremy Hammons, along with my brother Trent, we are looking to network with others in the North and Central parts of Alabama.  

If your investment is out of your area, it is not productive to travel back and forth therefore a local PM is most useful.I have used and continue to use a PM, but my PM is my brother so I have an solid advantage knowing I have someone I can both count on and trust.

That's because evaluating a conservative sponsor is very different than evaluating an aggressive one.But to take a step back: In my opinion, if you don't understand anything about commercial real estate, you're simply not going to be qualified to judge whether a syndicator is good or not.So if you were my brother or relative, I would say that if you're serious about investing in commercial real estate and are going to be putting in significant money, the first step is to educate yourself.

Good luck brother!

The dream would be to create a real estate company with systems and processes in place so that I could manage it while traveling the world with my brother and sister. 

@Omar Khan I appreciate it brother!
