I am new to the RE industry.

I don’t love some of these stats… as a full timer in this industry the closed volume reduction… sucks!

AJ Osborne and Scott Meyers are industry leaders with actionable books and podcasts.I'd also encourage you to network with other storage operators and consider a JV on your first deal to learn in the field!

These opportunities usually focus on one asset class, but it is normal to see various markets included in one investmentReturns are more consistent and can mirror the industry norms as the investment outliers average out to create more steady and predictable returnsInvestment offering timelines are usually longer on the front end and offer multiple entry points for the investor since the investment firm will likely accept investors throughout their acquisition period of all the assets in the investmentRequires less money to invest in multiple properties as compared to investing the minimum investment in multiple propertiesConsSince the specific assets have not usually been identified, you are not able to vet the specific deals against your criteria.

A real estate agent, however, understands the industry and has a vast network of potential buyers.

If you aren't familar with Taft, it's an oil/ag community primarily dominated by the seasonal ag industry.

@Dondi Sanchez - Hi Dondi, I have a commercial industrial/office building located in the outskirts of Orlando that was built in the 80's and Amwins/Axis gave us pretty favorable rates when we binded and still use them.

Also, what PPC company would you recommend that really knows our industry?

I can tell you that having a leader who has already achieved what you are trying to obtain makes the path much smoother with less mistakes.

I went to a meetup once and the leader had us count off into 6 groups.
