I also completely understand the frustration of navigating through "Joker brokers" and fake lenders who promise more than they can deliver—one of the biggest challenges in the industry today.Regarding your approach to accrual-based repayment options, that’s a huge help for flippers managing tight cash flow, and it's great that you offer that flexibility.

@Carlos OlarteCarlos, that’s a smart approach—ADUs and JADUs are great ways to boost cash flow, especially in high-demand areas like Orange County and Long Beach.

Tell me - someone selling their home to your son, Subject-To - is this a person who has made good life choices? 

Quote from @Jessie Dillon: just my 2 cents.. i'm not a fan of the syndication model. there are better ways to invest more passively where you have more of a say in what goes on, can achieve higher returns, and can have your personal interests at a higher priority. 

I personally do three types of lease options.

The person who comes into money but not a lot of experience in real estate should be a little more cautious right now.So overall, I am not saying - do not buy, I am saying be careful.

Quote from @Daniel Windingstad: Quote from @Obed Calixte: Some people have the personality, processes and systems & time to self manage, some do not.

I personally would not invest in detroit as historically its not a appreciating market and for cash flow and I invest primarily for appreciation - I go off the location location location mantra. 

As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.

I spent many years managing myself and personally collecting rent checks.
