I understand that if I rent this ADU out, then I can have a tax write off on the mortgage payment and insurance payment for the the ADU's sqft portion.

Also im pretty sure he promotes section 8 rentals and gives you a story with rose colored glasses.

TBH these circles do speaking engagements as promotional opportunities, it’s a hand shake and “I’ll speak at yours if you speak at mine”.

It feels like almost as soon as we invested the "wheels came off". 

The government has tried it with section 8 and rent control in some cities , we all know the end result .You would be better off starting a jobs program teaching the trades , educating them on finances and work ethic and then rebuilding abandoned properties for them to buy 

@Albert Hepp the flawed logic your using to state there must be some conspiratorial aspect to commissions because commissions are all but uniformed over 2%.....We can apply that exact flawed logic to Apples at grocery stores and say since apples, at every grocery store are uniformed at a price over $0.10 a piece, it "must be a conspiracy"........Take off the tinfoil hat. 

My goal is to add verbiage within the lease that will decrease any tiffs between tenants for the common spaces and how to set expectations and promote group effort with cleaning the common areas/shoveling snow/personal dishes/shared fridge/laundry/having guests and so forth. 

How do you convince them that you won't run off with their money?

3) Is there a chart in BP which tracks what is promised and what is delivered since inception by the Syndicate/promoter/General Partners?

I think he had some self promotion in the post and mods removed it @Paul Ewing
