Thus the money partner may realize a higher profit within a 3-year period of time than they may get with other investments such as a 25% or higher return per year for the 3 year estimated length of the investment. - The money partner doesn’t need to worry about the financing or keeping the debt in their name which may reduce risk for the money partner.Long-term tenant to reduce turnover.

If your goal is appreciation, you'll find markets that have very little cash flow (if any), and you won't realize your return until much later down the road when cash flow catches up or you sell the property.There are probably thousands of markets to invest in.

Personally that is what I wanted, an active mentor. 

You could lose months or years and still not resolve the problem or realize you cannot do what you wanted. 

This party won’t last forever, no one tells you when to get out, sometimes you realize too late. 

However I just realized there was a mistake in one of the tenants' lease! 

And I don't think they're taking applications yet, but you'll likely have to apply in person.

Another option is to look into some funds as well that allow smaller investments. some are anywhere from 500-$10,000 minimums and accept non accredited investors (through regulation a+).If you ran numbers of a loan paying p&i at 10% but ot being able to reinvest the principal payments you realize how low your returns actually are. so yes notes are great but also understand that idle money for any investment is not fun.

I've realized that embracing all types of Investors and expanding my Network in every way aligns with my Goals and benefits the Investing Community as a whole.
