That friend happened to be the #1 amateur golfer and was about to make his debut on the tour.

I like platforms for already launched products like Ethereum, Stellar, OMG and Storj.

Sadly, most of these who find themselves in such a predicament (remember, you do not get on a NOD list by having a stellar reputation as a decision maker :-) )....most who find themselves there fall into 2 general camps: Those who are paranoid, and think EVERYONE knows their business, and believes anyone seeking them out to be a creditor.

And although we took stellar care of the property the property required a lot of maintenance (we lived there for 5 years).

We came across Shannon 6 years ago when she was representing the sellers of our current house - she was a total pain in our side as buyers, and we later recognized that she had done a stellar job representing her clients (who we bought our house from).

I feel like many will look at this as a headache but I do not want to lose such a stellar tenant especially while we are living on the other side for 12 months. 

Sometimes when a "fund" is using leverage, your returns are diluted to the point where UDFI diminishes the ROI to the point of making the opportunity less than stellar.  

Expect closer to 8%-10% for both in order to have a good margin.I personally wouldn't have any issues with the location of the property, but only if you are either personally going to visit or if you have a team on the ground.From a deal standpoint - this isn't a terrible deal, but it isn't a stellar deal either.

I also see value in investing in platforms like Ethereum, Stellar, OmiseGo and Storj.

I've spoken with one of his clients who has 20 plus properties through this agent and she gave him a stellar review.
