I posted several blowing holes in every new variant of this scheme you dreamed up.I used to build depreciation amortization tables for billions of dollars of assets, was head of balance sheet policy (large chunk of which was amortization) at a Fortune 50 company, and am currently a data scientist doing math literally all day.

If there's a hole, it may be a red flag.b) sensitivity analysis: I examine all the assumptions, and make sure I can live with the worst case scenarios.c) "Stall and see": if they are getting money over multiple years, and there is no penalty for investing later, I would usually wait so I get some real performance data, versus having to look at theoretical pro forma information.d) Recession stress test: I will not invest in anything, until I subject it to recession level stress and see if I can live with the result.

These are those spring-loaded clips that you collapse and push into a hole in the drywall.

And sink holes.

I would love to continue learning and eventually using Real estate investing to climb out of my hole.

Here's where I'd poke a hole though: providing care.

Did you find any takers to buy you out of your three deals there or is that capital still in a black hole?

I’m surprised people don’t see through these gaping holes in the stories in these videos.

But I actually like using screws for the first (or maybe first 2) holes, because sometimes when using a hammer like we used to, the hanger can move a little and then you have issues.
