Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spent a minute on their website and this in particular stood out to me as a red flag.

I would highly recommend @River Sava over there, she's great. 

PMs can be a goldmine of information, connections, and opportunities.

I have all of my information sent to the SEC as do hindreds of us.  

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

Since my RE financing investor does the incentive of paying for the property, I want to make sure that my business partner is getting a great ROI in profits, so I want to make sure that money is working for the first investor making a deal with me in the smoothest way possible! 

@Jeff Nash would be a great resource to speak with on companies/investments to offset your W2.

Bham is a great market.
