However I just received a very concerning letter from the Fire Marshall Office saying I need to provide a notarized letter within 5 days stating I will not have more than 12 occupants in the cabin until I change the Certificate of Occupancy which would be devastating to my bookings.  

If you’d been holding around $620K from a 2019 sale and directed it toward a few properties like that.. especially if you leveraged financing.. you might’ve grown your portfolio’s total value well beyond what many Los Angeles holdings would have delivered over the same period.Then again, L.A. still has that unique mix of robust demand and limited supply.. from what I’ve heard, you can see impressive long-term gains there if you’re comfortble navigating tenant protections.

In fact, he delivered returns “only” in the 11% ROI range.  

2) What percentage is their track record of delivering what they promise to deliver?

The letters are pretty vague and when you look on the EPA website they talk about a 10-year initiative.

Because I retired a few years earlier, I don't have a huge runway to recoup after big mistakes but I need reliable investment vehicles, that can still deliver a decent return within a 3-5 yr. window with surety and consistency. 

If you know who Mike Stathis is, he wrote a letter to the SEC warning of everything he saw unfolding.

Deliver the  last 18 new builds in my 90 home subdivision that I developed and have built out price points 700k to 1 mil.. 10 of these are already pre sold so only 8 more lots/homes to actually sell in 2025. 2. build and sell an infill in Charleston SC on a lot we bought this year price point 900k . find at least two more in charelston and try to keep a 2 new builds a year going as long as my GC will continue to work for me there..

Quote from @Bob Beach: We're selling a few houses in Memphis, and we have interest (letter of intent), on one house that's requesting, "Seller Finance".

I was honestly shocked and horrified when you didn't just say something like "Yeah, Scott, I own the frigging building - I raised the capital, formed the entity, am responsible for operations, and plan to deliver the best investor experience (and great returns) that I am capable of for the investors who I've partnered with."
