He's a terrible person.

@Richard Rafferty, given the relatively small nature you are looking to take on with your first syndication, personally, I would find it hard justify the typically 20-30k+ for a paid mentor. 

Personally as long as the building didn’t flood I wouldn’t care.

If possible, visit some of them in person.

Mediation is a process in which the parties meet with an impartial person who helps to resolve the dispute informally and confidentially.

This process is done immediately if there is an asset they can show....the wrap note that is an asset.One of my coaching clients is selling his personal residence like this after he gets done with his forensic loan audit so that he can downsize.

Rentals are extremely difficult to make pencil right now but would only personally consider higher end projects because the costs are far easier to absorb than trying to build in lower value neighborhoods.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

I personally use 40% but I'm also in a higher rent area.

I'm currently working with an estate planning attorney and she said she said we could put the LLC in the Trust but said she was not the best person to advise on the pros and cons of that and that we should talk to a business law attorney.
