CRE Seems quite broad.

Setting your aim on a more specific part of CRE might help you find someone easier.

Good Luck!

Just Gen-Z; don't you think all Gen's might be effected by these same forces?

What @Jay Hinrichs said.

With the capital and experience to offer I've seen this work well as a joint venture.

Basically partnering on one single effort.

Hi Stuart,

I think you're shining the flashlight on the correct thoughts about these two individuals.

One way to think about this is these two will also own the businesses and want, of course, to steer it in a manner that fills their wallet the best.

Right now you may see them as less than suitable for partnering with,

Maybe rethinking your own position about making money with them might produce a profit.

What I mean is finding the type of deals that you could do with each of them that would capitalize on their unique knowledge and skill sets and desires.

For instance if Mr X was a successful franchise operator and was looking for someone to handle things that you wanted to have done and you found a fixer upper of a franchise. I just use the franchise as a unique example.

Basically since you have these two assets at your disposal maybe tailoring a couple of investments to fit those assets might be the easiest way to go about it versus looking for a needle in the haystack.

Just my 2 Cents.

(If it were mine I would try something like this)

Are you seeking an alcohol free environment to live in?

Well you may have found your new home!

If you are interested give me a call or a text and we'll see if we can work something out.

I am seeing a roommate who does not have pets.

Cozy furnished 1 bedroom with living room and kitchen privileges, your own private bath and a shared refrigerator.

$XXX Per Week.

In my home I have no guest bedrooms.

I have a nice office and a nice home gym.

Although I do know someone who has guest bedrooms and uses them mainly for in laws visiting from out of town.

I've also seen the extra space used to make a toy train set up for HO gage trains. 

 Just my 2 cents.

As far as the business card is concerned, to me personally I think having both things on one business card is acceptable . 

Good job!!!

[1]   Why do you think this particular unit drew the record price?

[2]   Do you know if the buyer is going to owner occupy or is it an intended rental?

Maybe the infrastructure, electrical grid, water sewer, pavement thickness on the roads, cannot handle the extra people in the area.

Can you cluster it and get them to approve retail zoning for strip malls and fast food?

Can the staff force you to do that or hold you up in some way?

What are they asking you to put in instead, a park, basketball hoops, a skating rink, a police station maybe.
