In other markets, the Tennessee Valley is fairly target rich, and I like to be one hour away from our deals.”“We manage our properties, we do the property management. I think the property management model is broken. And so we sort of do that.""We take a customary fee for that, but trust me, we're losing our shirts doing that. But to me, it is so important to do the boots on the ground management to deliver on the proforma that has been sold to the investors.”“The model is broken, where you can't really hire top notch people without them basically taking on more than they can handle and make that make that a business itself.”“Self-storage is a great way to play the multifamily movement.”“We feel like being an expert in the community makes it not so necessary for us to focus on asset class expertise if there is such a VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://lifebridgecapital.com/Here are ways you can work with us here at Life Bridge Capital:⚡️START INVESTING TODAY: If you think that real estate syndication may be right for you, contact us today to learn more about our current investment opportunities: https://lifebridgecapital.com/investwithlbc⚡️Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealEstateSyndicationShow📝 JOIN THE DISCUSSIONhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/realestatesyndication➡️ FOLLOW UShttps://twitter.com/whitney_sewell https://www.instagram.com/whitneysewell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-sewell/ ⭐ Be Our Guest!We are continuously working hard to help our listeners with their journey to real estate syndication.
