For me, weekly check-ins and just being real with my team—like saying, “Hey, I’m not sure, let me check on that”—have saved so many situations.

Since this is something that is best done with a team of experts that know a lot more than I do I am putting this request with help from the bigger pockets community to get me started on my road to success. 

Good luck with the team-building :) that is the most important phase, without which, growth and scalability will be hard to achieve!

Hi All,I am an investor, and Property Manager on the SW side in Chicago- I recently passed my RE Exam and looking for a sponsoring broker that I can team up with and learn the ropes.

I wouldn't want someone to hold back, I prefer honesty and straight talk. 

I need a list of sites which allow you to shop for and/or buy commercial real estate.

Hey Themis, it sounds like you already have a solid foundation in real estate from working in the commercial industry, so it should be a pretty smooth transition into doing your own investments.I would put a lot of focus on building out your team of contractors.

Stay hyperlocal and get a good team in place locally so you can recognize good people when you find them. 

In The Tampa Bay Area local investor in the items inside the home/business but looking to get with the right people to build a team.

I am looking to connect with the investors there as the promotors are continuing to take Asset Management fees to the tune of $450K a year (on top of PM fees) even when their payout to the investors is around $20K a quarter (not meeting preferred) and the overall fund is negative about $450K.
