So, When one person, the GURU, has a lot of people sending him leads, most don't work out of course, but some do and they are blasted all over the internet.

So their plan is follow Hawaii’s “protect the homeowners plan:  how did that work out?

Work out a fair revenue-sharing model, such as a flat lease or percentage of profits, and consider hiring a property manager for oversight.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

You mentioned that your objections keep getting answered and at the same time are concerned for when it doesn't work out.

Yeah, how'd all that work out again???? 

I’ve sacrificed a lot of time with my family, my overall physical fitness has diminished as I no longer work out 6 days a week, and my social life is pretty much nonexistent.So, trust me, I’ve had multiple times that I’ve asked, “why am I doing this?”

But again, if you're going to take it down to change out furnishings anyway, then the timing could work out well.

Your first hire is unlikely to work out though, was you won't have a good hiring system in place. - So, recommend having that first hire document the crap out of what you want them to do.

I would like to work out a payment plan whereby they pay me while I have control of the rights to the mortgage then in 10 years I pay off the principal.

work out whatever terms you want with them.everything else is hard money / commercial money.
