Living closer to work saves time and money.

Instead of shelling out $60K for a $250K deal, maybe some of you can help me figure out (or give referrals) to title companies, etc, or give overall advice how to save me money from this enormous financial endeavor (closing the deal).Thanks!

Just underwrite a refinance assuming about 30-36% of the money you will receive goes to refinance closing costs at worst, and find discounts when you can.

A little more money but 10 times better service.

None were a match for me personally and many were not a strategy I wanted or too speculative (such as opportunistic strategy which is the riskiest strategy or investing in tertiary markets which also tend to be the first to go belly up when there is trouble etc).You probably actually want to look at your operating agreement to see what rights you have to books and records, etc. 

Looking for any input or advice on how this strategy actually works.

Slowly and surely, you will make a lot money.

They are intent on collecting money before there is any property cash flow and less interested in doing the job they are hired for.

Of course, at the end, he plugs a masterclass with more specialized small group training for $3000 (money-back guarantee if not satisfied).

That property looks fantastic actually, I think sorting out the budget would be our biggest challenge.
