Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

Most buyers put very little effort in finding a good agent; they literally work with the first one.

With the effects from the moratorium, rent control, and other pieces that aren’t advantageous for owners, finding the right property could take more time and effort.

From what I have read these interstate population trends are not reversing infact they are accelerating partly due to baby boom population quickly moving to warm weather states...this is no secret. 

SO not worth the effort.  

Fair to say you're an advocate of either investing in the higher end or the lower end depending on your time and effort constraints/preferences?

It worked well but definitely took more effort on the part of the investor.  

It might be an interesting method of building wealth for others as well, so Elizabeth if you're willing/able to divulge your secret please do tell...

But, the real question is why waste the effort on a property that they don' want to make concessions on or respond to your offer?  

So I'm uber conservative and want 10%+ depending on my effort.
