I hope you don't like this family member.

I would think most investors are trying to get out of there.

@David Robert - Based on what you're saying it sounds like certain sections of drywall/wall are better off coming out and replacing then trying to repair.

Even if this works.

I am also listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts daily during every free period I have throughout my day while trying to learn as much as possible.

You'd want to work with the REIT sponsor and your CPA to understand the expected timeline for this a bit more.  

Admittedly, I am not one that typically finds paid mentorship very valuable, but I also respect that my degree is in business with a focus on real estate, and my first job out of college was in real estate (so it is a little hard for me to take my 20 yrs of knowledge and rewind it to try to view mentors from a completely fresh lens).A couple points: I view mentors, especially these expensive ones as a catch-22. 

I'm looking to do BRRR and Flip's for a few years and then try to get into buying land to develop eventually.

I love this and do a similar exercise with our properties.

This may seem controversial or “not by the book” for many.
