@James Wise When reading his reply, my interpretation is that he is not providing "property management", in his opinion. The checks go to the owners directly, and he has a maintenance person and attorney on speed dial. So he may consider this most of the basic functions of PM without actually being a PM (and thus not subject to regulation). I wonder what happens when there is a turnover. 

Not saying this is the case here, but whenever someone is promoting their opinion and shutting down naysayers, it feels like clients could be railroaded. The reason I think that is when it is coupled with his comments to call him if you are a cash buyer and that you never need an agent. That could be fine advice for some, but it also means no oversight. No bank, agent, survey, appraisal, etc.  

And to your earlier point, the response has been taking the victim stance instead of just explaining the business model and why he uses a different name on BP than FB, FL legal records, etc. 

All could be fine here, but this is a good exercise in due diligence and the value of this forum and community either way. 

 100% on the NOT being a licensed PM, I never was. I was just referring people to them which has stopped. I NEVER was part of the day to day. I believe I have explained in detail what and how I handle it.   When there is turnover on client's prop, simple, have a REALTOR show it. My own props I handle it all.. I simply provide guidance. 

JW should never have posted this, not cool at all.  I have never had a negative remark about me posted anywhere. Now this, just terrible.  I have watched him build his business over the last 10 years or so. I respect what he has done, I do NOT agree how but respect it. I would NEVER post the things I have heard about him and the amounts he charges.  None of my business what he does. Why he is so intent on bashing me, not sure. 

Again, EVERYONE I speak with knows exactly who I am, for goodness' sake they look at my FB and see my entire family, and my day-to-day life, I not hiding anything. 

All the best 


Really "Bob"??????? We all all know exactly who you are? HELL NO WE DONT!!!! 

Because fact is your portraying to be one person here on BP, with a name here on BP, and from what I read REFUSING to answer to who in the F*%K you actually are. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS! 

Because right here on Linked in is a person by different name, different business than you speak of commonly on BP, EXACT SAME FACE....... So, who the FlocK are you????? 


Here ya go "Bob", directly from your advertised Linked-in CLEARLY saying you provide PM, NOT that you reefer someone off but CLEARLY saying YOU provide PM and all these other services. 

So this is seeming a lot like a "oh shiit they caught me" freak out and demand to look away, just look away......    WTF "Bob", wtf!......

Thanks for taking a minute (or two) to read about what we do and why it might benefit you too :-)

At first glance, we might look like JUST another real estate investment firm.

A firm
specializing in helping regular people (like us) achieve true financial freedom, reducing risk, maximizing passive income, and saving on taxes…

One that delivers 100% hands-off turn-key rental properties to our investors from around the globe.
(Turn-Key- meaning, they don’t have to deal with Tenants, Toilets, or Trash)

In other words, all they have to do is close on the carefully vetted properties we bring to them.
W
e provide property management, title, attorney and Insurance.

We even screen tenants, deal with the various gov't programs and provide a 3 month rent credit on the HUD.

You’d see a firm that believes in keeping all investors continually “in the know” about their investments.
And if that’s what you see, you’d be partially correct.

But by taking a deeper look, you’d see that we’re much more than that…

People choose us based on four main criteria…

✅ Relationships

✅ Accountability

✅ Integrity

✅ Transparency

It’s about operating with integrity to build trusting relationships, being transparent with both successes and failures, and taking ownership through accountability…

Focusing on taking care of our greatest asset, which is the people who choose to align with us.

We want them to be able to lie down at night and sleep like a babies because they know we have their best interest in mind and always working to proactively solve any issue that may arise.

To be 100% hands-off, while enjoying the passive income that hits their bank account every month.

Just as sure as the sun rises…

To the tune of double-digit net caps WITH equity.

We conduct extensive research to know which markets present the biggest opportunities, which reduces risk and maximizes upside.

And the best part?

We do ALL the grunt work so our investors have the information they need to make decisions based on actual data.

If you’re a person of integrity and would like to learn more about how we help create 100% hands-off passive incomes for our investors…

Shoot me a message & let's connect.

 James not" caught" with anything, YES Provide/ Maybe should have used refer. ,(but do not see where it says provide) )  does not mean I do the day to day. I have never done the day to day. I intro and provide guidance. I have always referred PM.  If I was such a " bad guy" would I have my entire life at everyone's fingertips?  This is really getting ridiculous. 

 The EXACT word-for-word of your advertised statement is "We provide property management". 

Are you seriously going to keep pretending all these simple fact's are NOT out in the open now? 

W-T-F "Bob"...... 

You have been presenting a complete lie on BP this whole time and are acting like it's no big deal. It is a VERY big deal. It's shady as hell. 

And your panicked refusal to answer to any of it, like your freaking NAME! What is so difficult in simple confirming your name, especially when it's so obvious and blatant. 

But how about any explanation as to why all the cloak and dagger. 

No, instead you attack JW for pointing this out....... 

This is all so nutz at this point..... You've burnt up any potential of redemption with me at this point BECAUSE of your responses to all this. i was so hopeful you'd simply explain things. That's it, that's all you had to do, explain yourself.      


 My name is all over my Profile and all my sites, what more can I say?  Nothing to be shady about. I have always done what I was supposed to and more. Not one complaint from anyone.  I'm aware of most of the PM'S in Cleveland and can share many horror stories. I never bashed any of them in an open forum, well that is going to change. 

Well maybe the wording of we provide PM should have been, we can refer you to which is exactly what I did. Each email would be, Hey 5PM this is Mr Jones, he needs new PM. Mr jones these are the guys at 5pm, you're in good hands. THATS IT! End of story. I never collected rent or showed a property. 

Again, look at my profile, am I hiding anything? Every conversation or text would start with, hey type in my name to Google, my entire life comes up" Nothing or to hide and no reason to hide.

 Seriously man. They are pretty simple bottom of the barrel questions. 

--- What is your real name?

--- Are you legally allowed to provide the service your entire business is built around?

--- Why does your story change every time you speak?

No earth shattering inquiries here.

Answered 10 times Prisco, as per ALL my social media sites . 

Of course I can flip props and provide maintenance.

Story has been the same for 10 years

James enough with the BS. I think it's time I show you the respect you have shown me. 

Good luck to you

--- What is your real name? ANSWERED 10 TIMES!!! Prisco, EVBERYONE knows this as its ALL OVER my " life " in social media . 

--- Are you legally allowed to provide the service your entire business is built around? 100%,, I do not collect rent, I simply coordinate maintenance and flip props.

--- Why does your story change every time you speak? NEVER CHANGED. Also, I now have something negative written against me 1st time ever, thanks to your BS. I feel it's time for me to provide you with the same kindness, 

Good luck James, 

No earth shattering inquiries here.

 Again, you can't stick to a consistent schtick Bob. Which is it? 

Have a Realtor show it or you don't need a Realtor on your "team"?

You have everything on your "team" including PM or you don't?

Your clients "self manage" or you "handle everything"?

 Dude enough, you have shown your unprofessionalism and BS conjecture, for the last 10 hours. Go back to your mansion with your 7-car garage and focus on your biz. I am happy to re-pay you for all the kindness you have shown me in a public forum. 

All the best

@James Wise When reading his reply, my interpretation is that he is not providing "property management", in his opinion. The checks go to the owners directly, and he has a maintenance person and attorney on speed dial. So he may consider this most of the basic functions of PM without actually being a PM (and thus not subject to regulation). I wonder what happens when there is a turnover. 

Not saying this is the case here, but whenever someone is promoting their opinion and shutting down naysayers, it feels like clients could be railroaded. The reason I think that is when it is coupled with his comments to call him if you are a cash buyer and that you never need an agent. That could be fine advice for some, but it also means no oversight. No bank, agent, survey, appraisal, etc.  

And to your earlier point, the response has been taking the victim stance instead of just explaining the business model and why he uses a different name on BP than FB, FL legal records, etc. 

All could be fine here, but this is a good exercise in due diligence and the value of this forum and community either way. 

 100% on the NOT being a licensed PM, I never was. I was just referring people to them which has stopped. I NEVER was part of the day to day. I believe I have explained in detail what and how I handle it.   When there is turnover on client's prop, simple, have a REALTOR show it. My own props I handle it all.. I simply provide guidance. 

JW should never have posted this, not cool at all.  I have never had a negative remark about me posted anywhere. Now this, just terrible.  I have watched him build his business over the last 10 years or so. I respect what he has done, I do NOT agree how but respect it. I would NEVER post the things I have heard about him and the amounts he charges.  None of my business what he does. Why he is so intent on bashing me, not sure. 

Again, EVERYONE I speak with knows exactly who I am, for goodness' sake they look at my FB and see my entire family, and my day-to-day life, I not hiding anything. 

All the best

I noticed the name discrepancy with a FB profile with the other name. 

There is a lot of condescension in his posts, often degnigrating those who say anything counter to his opinions. And in general there is a lot of downplaying of risk in the pursuit of pure ROI.

None of that is wrong I guess, it's just not my style. 

I think that Jim asks a valid question though, and one that the community and Bob's potential clients would be better off having some clarity on. I also think that it might help Bob to clear up the confusion. 

 Hey Ryan, yes, I am a bit " direct" I am working on " being less direct :) NONE of my clients are confused about anything. Happy to speak with you
