If you’re looking for an REI strategy state your financial objectives, resources and time frame and ask for suggestions.  

With the money they raised they bought too little real estate to achieve their investment objectives, have LENT millions to the training company, financed a couple homes (wonder who got those, I can't find where they ever disclosed - but it will come out).

I even had one slick guru recently try to sell me on creating my own course if I joined his program for $10,000 and they’d walk me through the steps of creating it and help me market it on doing LTR, and BRRRR and when I objected and said I’ve only currently got 7 buildings now with 25 units and have sold 7 over the course of years I’ve been doing it he said we’d focus on the deals I’ve been doing where I’m getting ARVs of $200,000-400,000 and not my actual numbers of properties owned.

If money were no object, do you have a specific property (whether it's for sale or not) and address that would be an ideal first investment for you?

Your best bet is to read information from public blogs that approach both options objectively.

My objective is to buy about an acre of land, that is already leveled, access is being done, and utilities are going to be 5 feet from the property; and then build 3-4 shell retail spots on my plot, owner occupy one of them with a business and lease out the others.I am meeting with a developer this weekend, but have some wrong numbers regarding the average cost of building a shell space. 

So, David L, if your objective is a successful exit (or even predictable returns as forecasted - which was my objective), my opinion is stay far away from Open Door Capital.   

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.
