@Mary ConradNot sure I understand the question but yes many small real estate firms have acquisitions people

But I graduated 4.0 from college and have a very good ability to make sure deadlines are hit, a good ability in learning fast, and most of all I hired a consultant to guide me every step to make sure I dont miss a thing.

My first job out of college was as a trader at a hedge fund.

Ideally I'd like to buy something with a few acres to build an art studio for multi media work, gallery and perhaps a few small cabins for people to visit with us. 

Most people talk themselves into trouble by talking to much. 

I've managed probably a couple thousand tenants over the past 8 years and I know how different people can be and how to be with different people. 

First dont take everything people say as gospel, There is a good chance what your consultant told you is not 100% true.  

You may want to get a face in front of these people, your own or possibly someone local who they will see as "one of their own".

I've sent you a connection request- I'd be happy to connect you to some people.

The typical path to a million in net worth is to go to college, save money (frugal with expenses), buy a house, and invest in tax deferred accounts.
