We have been reading post after post for the past two years from (1) members who are fed up with the market (2) members who are having a hard time starting in a hot market and (3) members who have highly appreciated properties but don't have an alternative investment option if they were to sell or exchange.Deal flow is king in this market and you have to (1) put hundreds of deals through the funnel via marketing and networking or (2) you have to invest with someone who has it.I made a decision two years ago to do more of the latter...to start heavily vetting passive opportunities with experienced sponsors who have mature deal flow pipelines (i.e. deep broker relationships, industry leaders, full time staff dedicated to deal flow, consistent off-market properties)...while still casually vetting direct owned opportunities.
