I’m a beginner investor in the Houston area with a decade of 3D and 2D CAD design and FDM 3D printing experience.

Upstate New York will generally qualify with standard markets such as Travelers, Nationwide etc... there are a few other property programs that do very well depending on the size.

Who(specific person or position) would you recommend I add to a team to acquire Commercial Real Estate Properties that are in the Phoenix Metro Market?

I have been hearing good things about the market.

Please let me know if you want to meet to talk about the market or anything else!!
