Some tenants won't care or will just laugh knowing how much they are stealing from you.Don't take it personally and don't get emotionally involved.

We (me and @Matt Moreland) have been involved in the Lubbock market for a good bit and are always excited to help someone else grow and learn.

However I understand the work involved, but it certainly is a potential. 

I had several attorneys do free consults but they don't get involved until you've received an official offer. 

It's difficult but not impossible to be involved into a multifamily syndication!

I would say that many folks try to connect with other investors by means of platforms such as Bigger Pockets yes, also getting involved with a few REIA (right now is a great time for online meetings and the ability to be a part of REIAs all over) and connect with some agents just to chat in the markets that you're looking into- I can help you there if you'd like for Indy and other areas.There are going to be various podcasts, articles, blogs, etc on markets and what's trending, but I would personally suggest using numbers as my point of guidance and not follow trends as much as historical/long term results.  

My first question and concern is how involved the city can actually be?

It will only benefit the GP (who uses the partnership money to order the cost segregation study) and all the middlemen involved, while it will significantly increase the losses for the LP requiring them to file the state return or risk not being able to capture the losses in future.

In many of the title claims involving forged deeds I handled, all communications between the parties were handled via email. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.
