I have a number of friends that believed in similar "highly safe" promotions by deal sponsors and are now deeply regretting the investment.

We sold our business and moved to Georgia following my husband’s job promotion.

In fact there is absolutely nothing wrong with the above described technique as long as it's fully disclosed and UNDERSTOOD by all parties.John is "disgraced" because he got involved as front man with a Salt Lake City real estate marketing firm that promoted John all over late Nate TV back around 1998 - 2003.  

Some of them will make it to a higher income bracket, probably most will not in any material manner. 15 cent an hour raises don't really make for much investment income.

However, since this would be an investment property (held for 1 year or less), ARS 32-1121(A)(6) requires all work be performed by licensed contractors if the cost of material and labor is $1,000 or more.

You'll also want to make sure that your rental will be competitive for the area you're in regarding the rental price and quality of materials in the property.

The material participation column would be read-only and change depending on the dropdown.

Although this isn't a material to study, another thing to think about before you become a GP is building a track record, if you haven't done so already.

It would be interesting to see who or how many other gurus were using the same materials and then just repackaged it, rebranded it and found a way to monetize it. 

Copies of receipts for materials and paid bills for labor are evidence of value, but not essential.
