I've been in the real estate lending industry for over a decade, helping investors secure funding for their deals.

Good property management will help to eliminate tenant turnover.  

It helps readers a lot by providing context, and those of us who have some time in the market can look back into our histories and give you some advice. 

Most of the BP guests are pushing a course or book or something, so they appear on the podcast and then disappear instead of hanging out in the forums to help others.

Most lending is based on cashflow, not the 2% rule (although still a good rule of thumb for some types of investments), might have the most help from the group if you provided some of those details here just so it'd be easier for us to help you best. 

The victims are a family in Texas that loaned him their life savings.Any leads on his financial assets would be appreciated and greatly help this family. 

Hope this helps.

Of course, there's a lot more to it than I put in this paragraph, but I hope it helps with general parameters. 

I appreciate your help here!
