And, in the seemingly exceedingly slim chance that a suit arises that brings tries to bring the LPs into play, chances are those attorneys are not going stop at your LLC, but will try to pierce that veil as well to get to you personally.And lastly, Duke's point: if you are looking to protect your investment from liabilities that may arise from you personally, that is another matter.

Passive investors will now receive a passive return, not the bonus return they received when the market was new and exploding.  

I reported this to Justin and he tried to play off the issue as if I "wasn't following the process that he teaches" but trust me, I gave him a piece of my mind on that response.

I do realize that doesn't make me a know it all investor as even if I overpaid by 20%+++ in 2014, the REI market would have still treated me kindly.Anyways, I am wondering what your opinions are for getting into REI through Flipping in ATX for 2025 and beyond given the many forces that are at play in ATX including: 1- Interest rate cuts and the expectation that cuts will be a trend in 20252- Even with Interest Rate cuts, will this be enough to get people moving since they may be reluctant to move when they have 3% interest rates on their current home?

Horrible idea for many reasons...1) Without a decent down payment ~20%, it's very unlikely you'll cashflow after all expenses 2) Sounds like this would be a highly leveraged property - high leverage when rates are high is a dangerous game to play.

You'll experience more in a shorter amount of time vs. starting off on your own.Aside from the team, I'd also recommend joining agent communities especially those that have virtual meetings to role play, accountability, discuss marketing tips, etc.
