Hey BiggerPockets Family,I'm diving into a new venture in San Diego and could use your expertise on the financial setup.

This asset class seems to require more touches with management than other classes.  

If you do, you can develop a wonderful passive income portfolio.If you don't your habits will ultimately result in the total loss of all the assets you have in your name.Sorry for the harsh love but that is a reality you have to deal with.

That could actually create a demand situation in a corrective market where rent escalators plus length and quality of lease actually put the DST/TIC into an appreciating position as opposed to the hard real estate assets who are tied to the market.  

Depending on the size of the loan it will likely be a community bank (typically less than $1 Billion in Assets) or maybe a regional bank (typically in the < $10 Billion asset range).You have to have a financing exit strategy.

I'm living in Chicago right now, working at a financial services startup.

Loan Highlights:🏡 Smart Financing: Successfully included $31,000 in back taxes into the loan, optimizing our financial strategy.🔐 Legal Enhancements: Revised operating agreements and leases for a solid foundation.💡 Creative Fund Sourcing: Innovatively secured an extra $40,000 reserve, ensuring financial resilience.

If real estate is simply a means to an end then I could see less leverage and less assets being more preferable. 

Assets will lose value once the first (little) pivot happens.
