Would that just be a real estate attoney with experience in create financing?  

I do agree with the idea of that real world experience will always be the best teacher.

Not to knock schooling, I have an advanced degree myself, but I recognize that no one would work for me that I would want running my show.There is a lot showing in your frustration, I feel for you, but it's a challenging time in the industry and without experience and the advantage of having been through a few down cycles, you may just need to read about the down side of real estate to get to the next level.

I'm Ryan from Austin, passionate about real estate investing for the past few months.  

There has been significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations (2 data centers), driving up property prices and job opportunities.

A good PMC can assist with all of that for a Placement Fee.NEVER trust a real estate agent to do your screenings, as they have a conflict of interest - they won't have to deal with any tenant issues once you pay them their commission.

The person who will lease the restaurant space would like for us to go in 50/50 on another opportunity once we figure out if the numbers will work on that deal.  

New to the world of real estate but excited to learn!

My goals in real estate are to help my friends and family (or you too!)
