@Annie Schrock Have you and your friend considered private note-lending with an experienced team?

Hope your borrower is experienced, Anurag.

But I’m hoping to see a few comments that may be helpful to others who might be experiencing the same thing.HOW HAVE YOU DEALT WITH ANALYSIS PARALYSIS?

I appreciate all of your experienced feedback. 

Has anyone ever experienced this type of transaction?

Those are just some questions I'm usually interested in when talking to someone more experienced than me.As for tips on approaching people, if there are any kinds of drinks or refreshments, just go right up to the table/bar and get a drink or food and kind of stand there - the next person that comes by ask, "So what brings you here tonight?"

Most experienced agents will have a Minimum $amount commission they will work for, and sometimes the buyer agent will have an agreement the buyer will pay extra if they are only receiving a cut rate % from the listing broker, but......these need to be disclosed in writing and agreed to by you Before making an offer.Yes, this is BS if not disclosed/agreed to upfront.

My name is Rick Reeves and I am originally from Michigan, but now reside in Colorado Springs, CO.Background:  I have an engineering and computer background along with an MBA I've never really used. 

Many thanks in advance for any words of wisdom from those of you more experienced investorsSalvador

I wouldn't touch it without a really experienced PM, someone who has extensive experience in RC properties within LA.
