As part of my job I get to interview lots of people in and around the REI industry and I am continually amazed at all the different paths people take in the REI journey and the framework and desires the have that work for them!

I work in the oil and gas industry myself with up to two more years of work down here, and am considering this option to reduce cost of living and possibly as a long term investment.

I've been investing in STNL industrial real estate with an investment firm and would love to connect/meet with investors who are interested in getting involved passively in that space or investors who are already actively investing in industrial real estate to compare notes/exchange war stories/nerd out on real estate.Ideally would be a group of 2-4 people including myself. 

Dear experts in the real estate industry.

Virtually no operators own the 1,000s of units and $ millions outright, so it is not dishonest or misleading because it is basically an industry standard metric.What is misleading and not as honest is when an operator includes their LP investments mixed with their GP investments in their totals. 

Purchase price: $180,000 Cash invested: $20,000 It's a 3000+ square feet 2-level commercial flex space condo unit located in an industrial zone.
