I moved to commercial lending almost exclusively and the lenders (smaller local and regional banks) "lend money on the property and not the man."

In Houston, for instance, it's almost exclusively one bedrooms there, with very few 2 bedrooms in any given multi family.Knowing your market should help you make this decision easier.

Hi,I was brought to this site via an interesting topic on Investor Verification and how that now works with the JOBS Act coming full force.I am heavily involved in the crowdfunding space and I plan to be very active in the real estate crowdfunding thread, and offering any insights that I can.I think "crowdbuilding" has a major place in this industry, and can't wait to see it grow, let alone see Americans everywhere (non-accredited investors) invest into real estate and become very aware of how fun and rewarding it can be.In turn, it looks like I will learn a lot here about the technology and trends that are happening.

I do sales for an industrial company and really hoping to get my first deal before the end of 2014.Looking forward to keep learning and understanding investing.

I know that that if you wanted to work, you are pretty much limited to the tourism industry and stuff like that.

Tim - I have been in the real estate investment industry for 21 years, full time since 2001.

If you are not confident that you will find a buyer for this property and you are worried about loosing an E.M. deposit you have no business signing a written contract agreeing to buy this property.People doing things like this gives the industry a bad name.

Rightfully so because many in the industry are complete idiots or self-serving jackasses.

I was just cold-called by Verizon asking to lease them space at an industrial building I own in the Phoenix, AZ area for a cell tower.
