Their Fortunebuilders company is the same model as Trump University, meaning they take advantage of novice investors masterfully.

The current model doesn't allow for proper compensation for a management company, therefore they give you a lackluster service.

It certainly is more than SF Bay Area, but is not anywhere near the 1% model.The last property I purchased was in Nov 2021 and my model, which is very conservative, showed about a 1% CoC with 75% LTV on a 30 year fixed at 2.75%. 

I deal with development opportunities where I can and synergies between local businesses.Then I have my operations manager who handles most of the day-to-day management of the properties, and they manage some of our contractors and managers.Our model is a little different than large parks because we have regional managers that cover multiple communities vs a single one.The pain point right now is mainly having consistently qualified contractors and filling vacant spaces as quickly as we can.
