Are they genuine.

I spend over $100k a year on mentoring for me and my business partner from a few different people and am extremely grateful for how it has transformed our business. 

It is not staged. most rehabbers feel like they are 'saving" money by not hiring a home stager to stage their empty homes before listing it, but truth is, they are losing a lot of money. a GREAT stager would have been able to solve that storage issue you mentioned by making the buyers see HOW even an external storage could fit well into that house. a stager can literally transform a house making the buyers see themselves living there as soon as they walk in.lastly, did you tell your agent how much you wanted the house to be listed for OR he/she told you the approximate listing price based on realistic comps pulled, and speaking with other realtors in that neigborhood?

We transformed the backyard into a beach backyard, we have a hot tub, fire pit, horseshoes, and a grill, making this the highlight of the home.

If you can make it a genuine experience of some sort with a theme, then I think you really would have something! 

I am asking because I am genuinely curious and want to absorb as much knowledge and perspective as possible.Thank you for the post @Nicholas L.

A genuinely good guy.The seller actually helped build the building with his father and uncle-he was a teenager at the time.The tenants are all on MTM leases, the building was making money at the time of purchase, but it is making a lot more today.

Don't ask for money, don't tell them what you do, but build a genuine relationship first.If you're looking for passive investors to 'reach out' probably in violation of SEC rules depending on your offering exemption.

Interesting to see the transformation from the starting price point to the grand finale in the hands of a very successful and seasoned pro.  

I think all of us who have been on here for so long genuinely want investors to do well regardless of how they invest or who it is with!
