. —- Again I’m not saying you have to do these things; it all depends what type of investor you are and what you are looking for however it is important to understand that if you shift the responsibility of either identifying the invest property or managing or any other aspect there WILL be a trade off — in this case the turnkey company has delivered on your goal of 8-9% ROI (projected... so TBC) and in return you have traded some of the other benefits of investing in RE for the convenience of not having to do much more than to look over the properties they have sent you and funding it from the comfort of your home, office, etc. ... again if this is the goal then you are on point but if the goal is to also partake in ALL of the other benefits of RE then you should understand that and not be surprised that it’s not a ‘stellar’ investment that checks all the boxes.

Specifically:The $100K limit makes no sense, unless she has a process and data showing the sub 100k properties have been the best investments in that market.Section 8 is problematic.Over the past 16+ years, we've delivered more than 550 investment properties and provide comprehensive services.

In fact, lunch is delivered to them."

I was honestly shocked and horrified when you didn't just say something like "Yeah, Scott, I own the frigging building - I raised the capital, formed the entity, am responsible for operations, and plan to deliver the best investor experience (and great returns) that I am capable of for the investors who I've partnered with."
