Are lessors forced to offer this option?

The $800k represents only a ~15%-20% forced appreciation.

This is the same type of personality to gaslight you when you don't agree with their view on a deal or something goes awry, gatekeep you from information and deals, and become a resistance force in actually becoming a REI. 

Of course, nobody forces you to tell a potential partner to tell the truth about what you're going to do with the proceeds of the sale.

.- The TL states that those are technically the team's leads and I will owe the 20% if they convert within the year since I was given training (which I was not), lender referal (which was forced on me by the TL even though I work with my own lenders for my clients).Is the above statement true/legal/valid?

Sounds like you already have a solid foundation for your plan with BRRRRing, house hacking, and/or forcing appreciation.I moved to Denver about 6 years ago and love it.

I invest in Boise, ID and do quite a few BRRRRs, LTRs and STRs- varying degrees of success depending on how much equity we can force and the type of back end financing we can find, but the tax benefits are great and it's a rapidly growing market and Idaho is probably the most landlord friendly state in the nation. 

I think wholesaling is a great entry point into real estate because you are forced to underwrite and find your own deals. 

But given you experience with getting anything from this group, I would not hold my breath that you will even see a response, even if financial statements are required to be provided.So, then you next step is a lawsuit to force reporting.  

My last eviction taught me its easier to work with a problem tenant getting them out versus forcing them out with their feet dragging.
