It's easy to get caught up in the fervor of the market & "everyone buying" energy & lose focus on the balance sheet long term.A business acquaintance of mine runs a large Team at an SGF area KellerWilliams, she told me most of her agents will likely have a slow summer, due to low inventory & high purchase prices.

However, I am mostly focused in Fukuoka.

If you're going this route, I'd focus on the fundamentals and what you're looking for as a homeowner.

If you avoid speculative markets (back then it would have been Vegas, Phoenix, Miami as examples as speculative) and focused on value add apartments the research would suggest almost nil in apartment owners being delinquent. 

Many investors are currently focusing on value add and cash flow over development deals due to their perception of where we are in the market cycle.

If I do get to the point where I have multi-family properties and a family home, it would make the most sense for me to sell this property so I can narrow my focus into strictly managing and acquiring bigger deals.   

Hotel points are amazing when you can redeem points for stays at aspirational properties that smart people like us would never use cash to stay at.I focus on teaching people to use airline miles and hotel points to reduce their travel expenses so they can use their cash to invest, pay down debt, or travel more & have better experiences.I recently spoke with @Mindy Jensen and @Scott Trench on the BiggerPockets Money Show Episode 27 where we talked about everything you need to do to get started in the world of travel rewards.

Most of these meet ups seem to focus on single family investing.

In the next few months, I will be joining Joyner Commercial and will be focusing on investment grade properties and office market.

There are several that are multi-family focused.
