On the disclosure form, the seller had indicated “no” to any known damages.

At the time, I had just graduated with a physics degree, landed a great job in the Bay Area, and was newly married.

I do not have concrete proof that all 30 investors in the group were scammed, but the private group’s name is “JBS—BS” and the link was only sent to supposed victims of the situation which is why I believe it to be true.By my count, there are 19 people (including me) in the group who have been actively messaging about negligence, mishandling of funds, fraud, and residual damages they are experiencing from Jeff.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I'm a out of state landlord, the tenant skipped out last month and left me with a damaged, filthy, full of garbage and roaches house.

My recollection is (and insurance experts on BP can correct me if my memory is wrong), but most insurers will only pay "replacement cost"  policy limits, if you actually replace the damaged property.

I wish someone had told me about this when I bought my first place.I run a Property Management company and would only recommend a property mgr if you are cash positive or physically cannot tend to the property.
