I wanted to provide an update on the status of my situation.

There is a lot of public info out there on their funds and how they are (not) performing.  

if you need assistance setting this up talk to some local professionals.to your point you, should certainly not take on a payment you can't afford - and only you know what that is.  

A few tips I’d recommend as you get started:Build a solid buyer’s list early on.

Or the listing agent.If you have a provision on assigning leases to the buyer and transferring security deposits in the Offer To Purchase (in Wisconsin that's part of the standard form) the title company will put the SD as a line item on the closing statement.

Each REI investor will have definitely grown either in knowledge, experience, or current market situations since their last podcast.I view the BP Forum posters as the free/easy entry into BP product lines. 

@Von Wilson you could ask the developer next door to partner with you and have them build on your property.  

Hello everyone,
I’m an experienced real estate developer and builder with over 35 years in high-end construction and property development across Canada and Mexico. I’m currently leading a luxury condo project in Cabo...

If it is good enough for my local building authority to get permitted, it is good enough for me.In both of these cases, it was the presence or absence of the all mighty built in closet that allowed me to execute these real estate maneuvers. 

This requires some effort and not just relying on a reference from someone or a quick glance at their fees.
