And to be honest, it seems like everything’s working out at this point so if it does I’d be happy to refer them to my friends and colleagues.

A friend of mine had a client who successfully partnered with a regional claims adjuster, and it brought consistent bookings for months.2.

It’s my brother and 2 good friends that have some experience. the money lender would be a family member of mine lending out of their self directed IRA so they will be lenient with us.

If you are considering this approach, I suggest you buy an A-class property in a landlord friendly city and get a PM.

@Yonathan Cabrera There's nothing marketable about your GC/friends offer.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

My friend in Austin was telling me how he once lost track of funds because he used only one main bank account.. that got messy real fast.According to something I read in Forbes, many banks let you label accounts in a more flexible way.

Handyman Contractor Insights: These will best come from interviews or referrals from social media (friends/friends of friends) that are retired contractors or tradesmen.

I did the exact same thing 5 years ago except it was a single family and I rented the rooms out to friends, now my wife and I have built a portfolio of 10 homes.

The state that I live in is also not landlord friendly.
