But on this specific guy, I jumped on a call to explore the program and it was a high pressure sales call, it did not feel organic, not trustworthy and certainly did not feel the right fit.Why would someone spend 10k on a so niched-down space of real estate when they can get someone for the same amount to teach him/her everything?  

If anyone has more questions or interest in the specific structure, I am glad to share.

Are there specific tools, presentations, or approaches that help them feel more confident in taking that first step?

There's no way around it unless you specifically work for one person only.

And if you have a closet handy, nothing wrong with having a foam mattress topper rolled up for some extra comfort on the sleeper sofa.

I highly suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you don't buy in the wrong locations.I like the west side of Cleveland.

It doesn't appear that there was anything wrong with the property.

My wife would think something is wrong if I was home at 5 pm . 

Can you give us any specifics regarding the oriwotu and loan?

This is not specific to any individual or any specific real estate investment, or specific company offering investmentsMost people who invest in passive investments do far too LITTLE research on the investment itself and on the “sponsor”; furthermore most do not understand the investment and many have absolutely no idea exactly what they invested in.
