His knowledge with the real estate business continues to grow as he becomes more involved with the variety of real estate businesses that request funding.

(I live in Englewood, Colorado.)I am just retiring from my own company (not real estate related), and want nothing more from the forum than access to its knowledge base (and hopefully the camaraderie of the group).I am presently a passive partner in certain entities that own commercial real estate in Las Vegas and Southern California.

Im am looking forward to expanding my knowledge… (I think there is still room up there) :0Well… to answer a few questions… I have been playing around with Real Estate a long time… Many, many years.

I came here looking for knowledge and advice as I make my way into the real estate world.

You also have to have enough knowledge to determine if a response is good or BS.Have them talk about their job in detail.

Local knowledge is essential.Jon

A part of it also depends on your own experience.If you are knowledgeable about tenant relations, property maintenance, lease negotiations and tenant improvements; AND you are local to where your investment is, then you could consider managing it yourself.I have known many an investor who derive great pleasure out of taking care of their own properties.

I deal exclusively with residential Real Estate.I'm looking forward to participating in this community and will be glad to help anyone in any way that I can with the knowledge that I've been fortunate enough to accumulate.

I am looking forward to learning from each of you and, perhaps, being able to share from my own knowledge and experience to help you too.
