However, I found out the hard way, that just because someone seems to be a trustworthy expert in the field, does not mean they are a good person to do business with.About 6 months ago, I contact Councial Glenn on Facebook and he explained that he had a course, but that it would be better that I join his JV Partner Program, where I'd get the course, and he would agree to work with me to source Land Entitlement deals and negotiate them for me. 

In this post, I will explain how we provide cash flowing properties to our clients.

More than that IMO is too far.Bonus - my thoughts on your plan.Before I go there let me explain my properties, 3 of my properties have private indoor heated pools, all of my properties have hot tubs, arcades, theater space, etc.. 1 of my properties has a sauna. 2 of them have coffee bars.

This would explain why most of these deals move so slow on the commercial side.What's the typical cap rate that you would be happy with on for an example, a retail plaza versus an office building?

@Cyndi Lees Thanks for explaining your situation—it’s completely understandable to feel torn between emotional ties to the property and the financial need for clarity.

He explained that a lot of everyday property owners (not just investors) aren’t looking to sell because they locked in super low interest rates and don’t want to let go of what they have.

It's all the stuff you probably know.I think it'll be better if you explained more about you/your brother situation...What's the long-term plans and why do y'all want to self-manage?

I've explained this to you like 3 or 4 times now.

This explains the misguided  lure and appeal  of the "1% percent rule".

If they don't have time to get on the phone and speak with you to explain how they work, then they will be even more difficult to get ahold of once they already have your business.
