Hope to meet others in the area and get to know fellow investors.

Hi All -  long time reader first time poster.I am curious as to how other small/medium size MF investors are thinking about operating their portfolios as we head into the upcoming rate cut environment (however far in the future that may be). 

There are obviously a lot more factors that go into it - real estate is always going to be a mix of the tangible property/market itself with a mix with the investor/operator including experience, risk appetite, financial situation etc.I would say however if you are just getting started in real estate - LTRs are probably (in a vacuum) the better bet as STRs are certainly more sophisticated and challenging from an investor perspective

Include details on the current market conditions, the potential impact of the solar farm, and your experience in the industry.Network with Investors: Reach out to potential investors who are interested in healthcare or real estate investments.

I actually work for a mortgage company and am a loan officer myself but as I just started i'm trying to wrap my head around all the programs and markets.My broker doesn't focus on investors so it might be wise to find someone who does and learn from them. 

@Calum Shallenberger we work with a lot of real estate investors that provide us with intel on which Property managers are great, and well, not. 

Each situation is different for every investor. 

The schools ignore personal finance and business and hence people enter the world totally clueless as to basic concepts of business and finance.  25 years ago when I was financing small investors I made a loan to the purchaser of a small 12 unit apt complex.  

Milwaukee is block by block and most OOS investors (and relocation clients) are surprised by the range of choices.

One BP community member I got lunch with yesterday told me successful flippers avoid minor cosmetic repairs such as paint, trim, floors, etc. due to a glut of investors all trying to do the same.
