As i am interested in investing in LP opportunities, I have been wondering about the pros/cons of finding opportunities on the online platforms versus connecting individually with operators/investors clubs.

I have found that to be a cheaper way to go than getting higher liability coverage on each individual property.

., price is too high) so I knock it out pretty early on and it might not even cross my radar.An active agent or broker in the area who's working with clients probably has a better exposure to a lot of deals closing, and thus a lot of cap rates, than an individual investor like me who pre-screens a lot of deals and only does transactions for her/himself.As far as "applying a cap rate", you may already know this but in case someone else reading this in the future doesn't, what I mean is taking the net income (NOI) of the property and dividing it by a (somewhat-arbitarily-chosen, I admit) market cap rate to result in an estimated value.

The paid off one would cash flow enough to carry the others. ie, look at the whole pile of properties as a whole rather than needing every individual property to cash flow.

Since housing is fairly affordable in this area, individuals can find their own place without a shared space at a similiar price.
