Now there are major players who are trying to turn sfr portfolios into an institutional investment class but I think it's too early to tell what the minimum size a portfolio would have to be to qualify.

Now we are seeing a lot of slower moving larger players buying and entitling big projects, and the Johnny comes lately investors starting to pay a premium.

When I used to play high stakes poker in the backrooms of places you didn't want to go and there were a few strangers most of the players were packing.

A lot of serious players in DFW are taking deals at 80 - 85% right now.  

I work in DSTs, TICs, funds, etc, all structured as private placements for accredited investors.There is an entire industry in this space, and the players care very much whether their investors get good returns.  

Yes, when they are speaking of private investors, they aren't talking about me or Dion or Bob or John, they are talking about the mega boys that slice and dice the pools off to brokerages where ultimately small note players may buy. 

Just make sure your actions are in line with your true goals.If you really want to create wealth and attain financial freedom in a relatively short amount of time with real estate (5-15 years) then spend the time and energy it takes to become a real estate investor that learns the market you are in, master it, and dominate it.Those are choice words... what do others think?

Account Closed   Michael your sand box has some pretty dull players in it.. that's tax or foreclosure redemention one oh one...

But they hold their houses in their Do It Yourself Model.I can't really speak for Sean's company in particular because while I have met a few of the players this past week, I have not really done any business with them.  

@Ryland Taniguchi  what I found over the years that the bigger players that actually do fix and flip for a living regard as value to their business is:1.
