Since imitation is the highest form of flattery, I’d start with finding people in other industries that you admire.

@Joe Kooner When I say “refine goals”, I mean things like variety of industries in a market, employment drivers, city size, etc.

Go into any of the work trailers at the industrial complex in my town and you'll see calendars of scantily clad women with my advertising and phone number on it. 

I've been playing parallel to the real estate industry for years in that I have built my own interior design business for 10+ yrs and 'flipped' each of the homes I've lived in.

When house prices outpace incomes, reversion to the mean happens Everything else is simply Noise or the RE Industrial Complex trying to sustain the narrative. 

Wholesaling is a good way to get into the industry without alot of capital.

Personal stats that obviously doesnt depict the industry as a whole.

At the very least, it feels reasonable to split it.What has you experience been with late fees and/or what's industry-standard?

Others might have experience working in office complexes, industrial facilities, or even commercial strips malls.
