And even though virtually every sponsor agreement allows me to share investment information with others who might be advising me on it (especially when club members are bound by an NDA), I still ask the sponsor if I can share it, because it's a test.

If you were to self manage that would increase your cash flow but that's another level of time and risk involved and if you're doing it out of state I certainly wouldn't advise it. 

I did have another bizz partner that had an ocean front condo in Kona and he liked that knowing him it was probably a well over a 1 to 2 mil prop. the build it and they will come does not always work.. your just going to have run the math try what your doing now which is get advise on who to market that prop ( which I have no clue how to do) and see how it goes.

What would you advise for situations like these?  

I would advise narrowing down a market and contacting an investor friendly agent in that market who already has a system and team in place. 

The program is essentially a failure.When Phil presents his Big Weekend Events it seems that results are typical and easy to get, although the CLEARLY makes a disclaimer, as advised by his attorney, that this is not the case and that RESULTS ARE NOT TYPICAL.

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

I think once you do it full time as your primary source of income, then it probably would be advisable to upgrade and get some software. 

With tax its worse because laws are constantly changing and rarely is specific advise worth giving since key facts and circumstances can change the advice and make it moot. 

I have non-renewed in the past but with all the changes in laws I thought I would reach out to the community and see if somebody can advise on any gotchas or procedural steps I must take to non-renew my current tenant and stay out of trouble.Thanks.
