Alongside my studies, I’ve had the privilege of competing as a Division 1 hockey player, which has taught me the value of discipline and strategy—qualities I’m excited to bring into my real estate journey.I’m looking to purchase my first investment property in the U.S. with a budget of $250,000 to $350,000 in cash.

An NFL player at 250 lbs is going to be a different fitness level than couch potato that weighs 250 lbs.

Converting debt to equity if allowed by the operating agreement is not indicative of a Ponzi Scheme.  

Memphis has a diversified economy, with major players in logistics (FedEx, UPS), healthcare (the Med District), and education (University of Memphis, Rhodes College).

That's not everyone - some legitimate players may just be short on cash because of projects (I've been there) - but it is a lot of people. 

Perhaps they are scared of other bad players stealing their info?

I've spoken to a few lenders, but they are not allowing a seller carry for any of the down.
