If I were you, then I would get the pieces ready, but seek off market/on market projects that make sense for you.

It's a 3 restaurant package in West Virginia (where we already have a base) and includes 1 piece of real estate.

@Timothy Frazier I wouldn't use the word bad because if that is the route needed to acquire a piece of property then mission accomplished however you are stacking the deck against yourself with this approach.  

So I will not be using RentRedi and am still looking for a better solution to manage all the pieces from rent collection to messaging to maintenance and tenant tracking.

For a smaller piece like that, not sure how creative you can get, but it all depends on what it's zoning is, access, proximity to other things, etc.  

My biggest piece of advice would be to find someone who is in the position you would want to be in 10, 15, or 20 years and meet for coffee.

There is some solid structure to the program and a solid accountability piece along with getting to interact with highly successful people.

Flat fee is your safety, profit split is your upside—works best when you really trust the investor.Equity Sharing + Second Position: Kind of like the repair funding idea, but you just lend for repairs and instead of only charging interest, you get a piece of the final profit too.

I was gonna invest 1M in bitcoins when the price was $220/piece a few years back.

Durability is so important—nothing more stressful than scrambling to replace a piece of furniture between bookings!
