I admittedly have never done much on the investing end (thus, my presence here), but I'm open to connect with anyone here who is looking to buy some property.

While I am not going to say that the market will not have another double digit decline, I would not count on it either.

Probably HML stuff to start or even private money deal.Look for accountability, transparency, solid paperwork and double digit returns!

That building had good rent rates, super high taxes, and the lowest single digit profit I had seen in a multifamily.Live where you want and invest where it makes sense.

The first step was joining a respected REI community like biggerpockets, making my presence known here, and meeting as many like minded entrepreneurs as I can.

I am getting the digital version, the additional files look really helpful

San Francisco was at 23.9%, Las Vegas 22.3%, and Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, Seattle and Tampa showed double-digit gains.But Dallas increased 7.4%; Washington, D.C., 7.2%; Cleveland, 4.8%; and New York, at 3.2%.And even with the housing price increases, we are still 26% below peak prices.

I am not sure I will hit on all of your questions but here is a start...In general I am not a huge fan of partnerships for buy and hold rentals, unless one party has something you really need (credit, cash, local presence, etc.).

Its mere presence is enough.

Zuckerberg developed it alright .... and then kept it for himself.I am trying to think of a way to outsource a big chunk of a business, that cannot be done abroad alone, to somebody in a third world country, in a way that I will only do the part that requires a presence in the US.
