@Sindy Zheng I know that this isn't a book, but adventures in CRE is an amazing website with an expansive library of educational material regarding underwriting and modeling.Also if you have any specific questions I would be happy to reach out!

I spoke to Tenant 1 on the phone who had a story about Tenant 2 being newer to the country (long story about background, lack of education, lack of credit, etc.)

Educate yourself and jump in when you're ready.

Hello @Chad McClanahanI believe today is the best time to get started.Opportunities always abound, its just that education , experience and training may be required to spot the opportunity right under our noses.

@Francis Figueroa I would first recommend some self education before diving in.

Of course, if you are just looking to jump in and get started while getting education along the way - that in itself is a great goal as well! 

@Jose Angel Fuentes Melgar,You're on the right path just by asking questions and educating yourself!

I've been in investing for more than 20 years I'm also a broker so I've seen firsthand the problems that poorly educated / trained agents have on this profession.

You may also want to research what each area has to offer when it comes to economic growth, sports, entertainment, and education. 

And, of course, there wouldn't be the knowledge or investment without the worker in the first place, so people are always wanting to assign value to these less calculable items (like you, the investor, wants to assign value to the less calculable risks involved).At some point w complicating factors, and without degrees in actuarial science, most of us throw up our hands and decide it's easier to just split 50-50, 60-40, or whatever, assuming both parties are educated and comfortable with the risks and values over the life of the investment.
