Lots of interesting feedback - but even if I didn’t feel the OPs offer to passive investors was great - I wouldn’t think it EVIL - which seems to be the opinion of some responders……Key point for people evaluating the “fairness” and “competitiveness’ of the offering is that the sponsor is receiving too much benefit for too little contribution.  

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

Respond within minutes to each one, as tenants often go with the first responsive option.Ensure you have high-quality photos that make your property stand out against the competition.

However right now it is VERY competitive in the tax lien market so it is going to be very hard to find something good.

Be prepared to do your due diligence and make competitive offers.So, what do you think?

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: I would reach out to a couple lenders see if you can get some competitive rates and also see about the points too that they are charging..

The only thing propping them up and forcing them higher is our monetary system and governmental regulations that limit competition in the market place. 

Since few lenders have the stomach to do this, it’s also been a great competitive advantage for our business.This horrifies almost every private lender I know.

I have found it better to find new construction investment properties and buy after competition. 

If your in a market facing off against me as competition to lease a property..... good luck, your gonna need it.
