These guys are not players they are market makers.  

again nothing to stop the sound waves (my lease required 50% coverage by area rugs, I do not enforce that unless we get complaints).If is quite possible you are chasing ghosts here, you can spend a lot of money sound insulating the place, and decrease all the sound frequencies above 125Hz, but not effect any sound at 50Hz and then your next tenant is a bass player and everyone complains.You can get a professional sound meter from amazon for less than $20, those do not have frequency ranges, but they will let you know if the person who is complaining is crazy or not, and you can use that meter (that is calibrated) to compare against your local noise ordinance to see if there really is a problem.

Most times, the bigger players can be too busy to take on leads and opportunities even by doing simple things like answering the phone and/or returning phone messages.

This renaissance proves that investor demand for mortgage securities remains high, reflecting renewed confidence that stricter underwriting standards will make conduit lending an even stronger channel than in the past.Although the GSEs remain significant players in multi-family lending, regulators will continue to debate what their role should be in mortgage finance going forward.

Being only 19 years old, I am sure that many of the "Big Guys" here in Phoenix who currently dominate the multi-family industry will not likely take me seriously and may take advantage of my clearly novice position in the marketplace (I have met a few of them and have already experienced this). 

I'm a dad with 4 daughters, spent most of my time in male dominated work environments (military and warehousing), so I'm reading this thread with great interest.  

The institutional space is dominated by the "big three" REITs (VTR, HCP, HCN).The product type is very similar to multi family and lodging with a healthcare component.

I think  this is a decent list, but honestly there are some players to stay away from, especially if you are doing rehab and need trades, construction people, or project management in Indianapolis. 

There are guys out there that do it on a daily basis and have whole teams of resources dedicated to dominating the auctions, so just be prepared.

So I noticed these podcasts on the media player and I started looking well I came across Dave Ramsey.
