I just recently started a jiu jitsu academy with a couple of friends, and although I was not in the day to day grind of the process in finding a building and building the space out, I did become fascinated with the process.

Quote from @John McKee: What are your successes, failures, and aha moments?  

I have 9 loans currently so looking to do a conventional loan on my next depending on that process.

I have actually done this and can say that it is a pretty complex process with many rules.

It's just not how successful people operate.

Best wishes and best of success to you in 2025.

It seems like there are additional obstacles to success for me since I'll have to do pretty much everything remotely, but an expression that I like, and I'm paraphrasing here, "If the path you're on seems easy, you're on the wrong path"Would love any and all advice, guidance, comments, warnings or whatever else you'd like to share.

I have been learning how the process works and there are a lot of resources for how to interview a sponsor and review the deal, but how do you initially access the deals to review?

The reason you see a person’s name and all their entities listed in a lawsuit is because Plaintiff (the suing party) attorneys have to list everyone and every entity that can be remotely tied to a cause of action, otherwise, if enough time passes and through the legal process discover that a separate entity or just a person was truly liable and they didn’t name them in the lawsuit, they are out of luck.

I do think they are different skillsets, but the both need to mesh in order to be successful.
