No attempts to "pull one over" on anyone here--in fact this deal and partnership idea were brought to me by the other would-be investors (including the deal finder), because they're interested in making it possible for my wife and I to move closer to them (currently living in different states).

Attempted to report him to state agencies but there was no clear jurisdiction.

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

As far as I know, they no longer do arbitrage after losing a significant amount of money attempting to make it work. 

You essentially end up paying over $300 per month if you attempt to start making calls from the dialer.

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.

I attempted to access and delete the fake listing but was unable to, as Zillow indicated that I am not the owner of the property.

I like that you came on here and at a minimum attempted to defend your position. 

You started with one listing and ended up with a listing and a handful of new buyer clients.Trying to market to buyers without listings is like trying to chase down bees one at a time in an attempt to get honey.

She's has an enormous dog (lab) at the house so I didn't attempt to go there to post the notice on her door as he had bit someone before.
