Not all borrowers are as smart and capable as yourself. :-)

I told them specific things I wanted them to order and they agreed, like specific mattress and latex toppers I use. they shipped cheaper horrid memory foam ones instead.

Batten down the hatches on your DMs because that ship will sink within one day of mentioning Columbus on here.

I don't mind that, but the way this is set up is so that the tenants could delay the sale 6-9 months without ever having to prove they are financially capable of buying the property in the first place.

I'm not one to take risks but I feel I am capable of becoming a Real Estate Investor as long as I do my due diligence.

That being said, NEVER carry a gun if you are not 100% capable physically and emotionally to deploy it if needed.I just feel that open carry brings poor connotations along with it (even from me an avid shooter and gun lover).

The less conservative is: operate as a finder or co-GP but with very good, conservative counsel to keep everyone in the clear.I recommend you read up on "disgorgement penalties", and make sure the sponsors that are recruiting you have done the same, before jumping into this co-GP/Finder ship.

They can contribute half the purchase price, half any equity, half any money you've put into the property etc.Then have an ironclad partner ship agreement. 

But, honestly, I’m on the edge of jumping ship if this keeps up.
