It seems to set the investor on a path to deliberately pyramid of assets.  

I have clients that have been doing turn key light for years.. its not bad way for everyone involved.. one of them has built a 50 plus home portfolio for a LA based client over the years.its a long slog to just buy rentals and retire.. you need to do what your doing and force equity if you really really want to get somewhere big in short time.. just buying cash flow wont cut it.. it will cut it for a 20 to 30 year retirement program.. but for all of these younger folks on this site with the common theme of Hey I want to quit my job in 5 years and live on passive income.. that's a tough one.. can it happen in certain parts of the country and with someone fully hands on and they don't need much to live on like maybe 5k a month or 10k a month and they are happy for life.. but most cant live the rest of their life on such meager earnings.. as you age your bills can really go up. as you have children your bills go up.. things are more expensive. etc etc. this is why I am a big proponent of the value add strategy.. you can build a pyramid with maybe rentals as a base but you need to make the big hits like your talking about..

If most of the money is made from new recruit than it is a pyramid scheme and that's a scam where only the members already in are benefiting. 

I am tempted to send letters to the homeowners telling them that their agent is trash and isn't working for them like they think he/she is.But with any industry or job, you're going to have a pyramid of players where the majority are average or below average, and the small minority are very good at what they do.

There's a couple of central florida meetup groups on there (besides CFRI and GOREIA) that try to get people to sign up for some kind of pyramid scheme thing... so I think a REAL investing meetup group would be great!

The way I’m interpreting how this work, and please correct me if I’m mistaken, is that at the top of the pyramid is the DST, with branches coming down connecting it to each LLC that is controlled by the DST.

It's more a focus on "Pyramiding", the equitable returns, for a 3-5yr window to consolidate gains and re-deploy. 

What I'm reading is that I'm asking a supposedly simple question that you somehow can't answer, and if I really wanted to know the answer then I should pay you for some online course.That's like the definition of a pyramid scheme.

I'm looking into a foreclosure that is being handled by a 3rd party called Pyramid Platform.
