i certainly want my long term rentals to be 'worth' more and to appreciate over time, but i worry much more about what they can rent for. 

As part of this search, I got connected to a company that does turnkey properties in Birmingham - they build them, sell them to the investor and manage them. 

I'm aware this bucks the trend of investing in OH, FL, etc. but I think (and hope) positive cash-flowing deals can be found with the right connections. 

Happy to connect and send over my real estate attorneys and they can better help with this question. 

Let me know when you come so we can connect. 

Love to connect with you and learn what you are doing. 

I try to appeal to what my customers want in the area. happy to connect offline and chat. 

I'm doing some research now to identify potential areas to keep an eye on and possibly connect with an investor-oriented local agent in each of the areas we're considering.  

Would love to connect with any insurance broker who deals with Multi-family in California?

@Soup NikkI am in The wrong type of syndication as a GP.As an LP who also invests with find those fees to be very high and many are front loaded so the GP has little to no risk (even having fees to guarantee the loan…) you are taking on all the risk and the upside to me is not worth that risk.
