I'm a nascent investor myself and always on the lookout for fellow investors in the area to connect with.

@Brad CoteThere is a nascent movement afoot here in NB seeking rent control - as a tradeoff for removing some or all of the provincial portion of the property tax from residential rentals.  

l represented myself (with again, that nascent, irrelevant license you discussed earlier) However, to answer your question more directly...

Don't get me wrong, I definitely have a good impression of my would-be partner and his character, but neither do I yet know him well enough to have a high level of trust--so on that front the trust is still kind of nascent/neutral.

Being that I was about to move even further away from my investment, I made the second best decision of my nascent investment career: to sell the stabilized asset, 1513 N State Street.

The fact that we're at historically low unemployment when we're the most technologically advanced we've ever been in 2019 should tell you all you need to know.We have a nascent solar and wind industry in this country. 

Thanks to the BP community and wonderful books / podcasts, we were highly motivated to grow our nascent REI business in 2018 and went from three units to ten units over the last 12 months. 

A few situations are up in the air for me in my personal life, but by sometime in the middle of next year I should have enough information about where my life is taking me (as well as significantly more real estate know-how compared to my current nascent seed of knowledge), and I'm planning to find some deals and make an offer on my first property before the end of 2017.

Were they properly taken and it is a loss year for you and/or the business is nascent? 

As a nascent investor, you need to do your homework.
