Can you give me an example of a monthly distribution you've received from them, let's say with an investment of $1000.2) Are there any fees?

I am in Milwaukee, very hot rental market.Whenever you have an issue like this, think with an XLS and project dollars, for example:- 2 months lost rent: 2 x $2000- 5% lower purchase price: $15,000 

Here's an example comparing three different loan originations:Loan A: No interest reserve, but $15K est. interest payments for duration of the loan.

I have seen this in Milwaukee too many times, the only way to make it work is VERY hands-on.If you end up renting it in March for IDK net $200 the property will have lost a LOT more in the next 12 months just in condition vs what it looks like now (assuming that it is freshly painted?

For example, a private lender might finance the lot purchase or construction with terms you negotiate directly.

An example of this would be mixing your personal money and LLC money in the same bank account.3.

For example, people wanted to know "what happens if the seller says this when you talk to them on the phone"..he would respond by saying "Only ask questions pertaining to where you are in the process".

Madoff, for example didn’t “promise” investors any particular return.  

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.
