It's sad to see so many young athletes blow through millions of dollars when they make it to the big leagues.

If you're a sophisticated, deep-pocketed investor who can go toe-to-toe with them and use them as one of many sources for your deals, then by all means, go for it.If you are a first-time or inexperienced investor, an out-of-state investor, an investor working with limited liquidity (under $1M) ... don't get near these people, they're out of your league.

You are likely to get a much higher caliber of firm because managing AirBnB type properties is a whole different ball game in a different league.

I'm in the same boat you were (buying duplexes) and am diligently working on scaling up into the big leagues!

Sorry. again you are way out of your league Rob.

Whenever I have a new endeavor and feel out of my league I think back to taking those steps.This has resulted in my journey of participating as a LP in 3 syndicated deals and about to close next month on my first venture with partners on the GP side.Growth in the future for me will continue to be through continuing to grow my network of professionals looking to take the investing journey with me and to find partnerships that can help me find attractive deals to put that capital to use. 

Thanks for the shout-out, but although I'm flattered to exist in the same sentence as these pros, we are nowhere in the league of @Kathy Fetke or @Chris Clothier or @Marco Santarelli.

Are there any Bigger Pockets meetups in Galveston County or League City area?
