As you move ahead (sometimes struggle along) with plans and work with a variety of folks - you will begin to find those who you work best with - they add to your plans, and you add to theirs.

The headache of managing my property manager became too much, and the appreciation wasn't worth the struggle. 

I've been looking for industrial or warehouse in the chicagoland area (can also be in NW IN) but struggling to secure financing, so I can't make moves on anything.

I struggled with wondering why all the "sexy" and sophisticated offerings were always to accredited investors. 

If the borrower struggles long enough and ends up losing their home in foreclosure, assets sold to pay off debts will not necessarily leave enough money to settle the second or third loan.

I have 3 listings priced at or below comps that I am struggling to sell.

It's not coincidental that it always comes from tenants that regularly struggle with late rent or lease violations. 

I am currently struggling to decide on which approach I should go after.

The LA market is very competitive right now, and we've seen that it's been a struggle that the seller can't find a replacement property.

What you are likely seeing is there is currently a bit of a struggle between hard money and private lenders.
