I know it's not very sexy, but it works

When I was a multifamily broker at Marcus & Millichap, I used to envy the retail brokers and their sexy shopping center and triple net leased deals.

The basics aren't sexy but they will make you successful over the long term (& keep you out of jail).  

Respinsible teens from your church or a church.

Here is the problem Jerryll, what your putting out there  broth'a, it requires work, it's nowhere near as sexy as being told all they gotta do is by a list that "only" 143,800 other people have, and with that "limited" list, they will make TRILLIONS!

To get comfortable, we interview PM's, check references, ask other professionals in the area for recommendations like attorneys, brokers, go on IREM.org to name a few.It's all part of the process.I travel to see my Dallas deal every month right now as I am spending $750,000 on the rehab, my SC project I will be seeing next quarter.I am looking for value add deals with an 8 cap or better and my investors get excited with a 7-8% preferred return and an IRR in the high teens to low 20's. 

Single divorced mom with teens.

I would be looking for a yield in the high teens for something like this.  10% is not enough IMO. 

Sure, Bitcoin, has the sexy-sweet name and it was the first of its kind...but it has flaws.

Adults are busy talking, kids are maybe not being watched as closely, teens are gathered and get goofier than usual so stuff happens.
