What should I look for before making an offer on a property like this?

They tested the appliances thoroughly and offered a one-year guarantee.

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

I would encourage you to make the offer that works for you. 

If I create a debt fund that offers 9% interest on first lien notes with a 5-7 year payout, would that be attractive to high net worth investors?

Reason being is that it allows you to invest in other products other than they offer, so that's why they don't promote these . 

I'm looking to not only share my experiences but also offer my services to those who might need them.

USDA offers 100% financing if you can find a property that qualifies for USDA.

However, it was a blessing in disguise because I have learned what NOT to do and have worked hard at establishing what they offered on my own with my own VA's and it has been less expensive and more profitable.
