I lead our DST due diligence within our RIA, and what you are experiencing is unfortunate and rare if you have the right sponsor.

As I start down one path, I have more questions which leads me down other paths with even more questions. 

Never heard of a voucher tenant being responsible for maintenance and repairs, rental licensing fees, lead testing upkeep, cap ex, reserves, book keeping and tax prep......and even if you self manage, it takes up your time and should be treated as an expense because its taking away from your ability to earn income elsewhere. 

Otherwise, broker classes that lead to a real license are cheap.If you want to become a real broker, earn a real license.

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

If a landlord plans to hold the property for a while, we always recommend an annual lease, ending to align with the summer leading lesson, or staggered with their other leases depending on the situation.  

Do you have a favorite service for generating leads? 

This stark contrast leads me to question the legitimacy of the program and its purported benefits.In conclusion, my experience with James' mentorship program, particularly through the actions of Kristin Witherspoon, has left me disillusioned and skeptical.

Looking to bolster my off market lead flow.
