    Amazing, thanks for sharing. When locking up this deal, what's the process? From writing the LOI to Closing, what's involved? How long do you have to gather the deposit needed (I'm assuming it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 1%)? Do you do an earnest money deposit and do you need to submit that to be held in ESCROW until you close on the deal? How much is required for that usually? How many days did you have to fund the deal? How did you fund the deal, were you able to set up an LLC and then register with the SEC? When you're funding this deal and holding your investors money, do you open a business bank account / use your business bank account and have a separate account to hold everyone's money until closing day? Do you continue to collect the rent from your newly gained tenants in this business account in a separate account from your funding and then sort that into multiple Repairs & maintenance accounts, Capex accounts, etc. When you are running something as big as this how does book keeping work? Is there a partner that does it or do you hire a company and then give them access to all your accounts?
