Greetings,Here is an update on the current National Commercial Industrial Real Estate Market in The United States of America as of March 10, 2024:Initial estimates of industrial investment activity suggest that a little less than $60 billion exchanged hands in 2023, approximately 15% below the market's 10-year average.

Your determination and resourcefulness speak volumes, and with the right funding, you're on your way to making this venture a success.If you have any more questions or need further guidance, don't hesitate to seek advice from the wonderful BiggerPockets community.

@Benjamin BarrazaIt's wonderful to learn about your building experience and zeal.

You might  suggest they locate and use a real estate attorney to assist  with this  plan .  

In normal circumstances, your suggestion about avoiding a MTM lease makes perfect sense, and it's a strategy we plan to adopt in the future.

Here's my suggestion for next steps.

Very thorough suggestions from Nathan Geisler on finding and vetting a PM.

I agree that gives a bit more credibility, so thank you for those suggestions!

I would suggest a few things: 1. don't make repetitive log entries every day " managed rental, did calls" copied and pasted 50 times likely would be thrown out in an audit for example. 2. make sure you are materially participating in your rental activities. 750 hours is not enough, you need to pass the second test of material participation in the rental activities to turn that activity from passive to active and claim the deductions on your active income. 

Does anyone have a suggestion for an in-person (Denver) or virtual meetup/group/class/etc that could help me establish some consistency and accountability (and hopefully networking) with real estate investing?
