KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. ALWAYS do your due diligence and make sure you really know who you're doing business with.
2. Be careful about projections and assumptions from operators. Sometimes these numbers can be inflated and dressed up to hook investors in. Conversative numbers are more safe and can show you who you're really working with.
3. You can have two properties that are identical but the operator who manages the property better is going to achieve the best return on your investment.
4. Review current mainstream consumer sentiment to give you an idea of what's happening in the market.
5. Think ahead. Is asset X going to be valuable in 10 years? Look at what's going on in terms of the market, technology, and job growth.
