Problem is that the "friend" was just placing warm bodies in there with no real background checks. 

This, of course, doesn't replace the accountability and human spirit of a coach or mentor, and perhaps therein lies their greatest value.

I will be responsible for securing the debt, finding the contractor, performing the work and getting the units rent ready as fast as humanly possible.That being said, I just want each of us to make an equal investment, receive equal cash flow, capture equal equity at exit and maybe add an equity sweetner at the end for the other partners who are teaming up with me for the first time. 

One year ago, I dedicated myself to lifelong health and wealth which resulted in successfully saving 25% of my income, my first stint in investing, a body transformation, and led me to recently read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. 

We are all human but this guy was on another playing field.

Now I'm an evil landlord who should work for free because housing is a human right. 

@Phillip Syrios - last year when we staged our personal residence, the staging company suggested the Limoncello wallflowers from Bath and Body works http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/p/limoncello-wallf...Very subtle but also light and clean smelling

Unfortunately the vast majority of landlords do not screen very well and rarely understand human nature.

I let the numbers (and human nature)  speak for themselves. 

Working hard labor is hell on your body, so injuries are common.
