He made BP a ton of money through books, event appearances, etc.

My partners and I run a bimonthly real estate event here in Tampa, you are more than welcome to attend.  

Check the in person events and meetups in your local area, our online community is full of knowledge and folks willing to share and still nothing replaces the opportunity to interact IRL, you never know who you will meet and where that can take you on your REI journey. 

If they give very little information or the new capital will only add a year or two to the viability of the deal, then I am likely not going to give them more money.The changing or stopping of distributions and calling capital are very stressful and concerning events when you combine it with a lack of information and transparency from the syndicator. 

I go to local REA events (not as many as I desire).  

This is even more so if the 4 years has an impactful event such as Covid.  

I also had an odd event where Statefarm cancelled my coverage and required I get a roof inspection.

If it's the same, it could just be the state of events we have going on right now.

I'd highly suggest attending as many local real estate networking events as possible in Seattle - find the host, make friends with them, and ask which general contractors they know, or ask who is doing the most deals in the group and ask them.

Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen event, me and my friend are no longer able to attend, but our loss could be your gain!
