I don’t know if Patrick was completely duped by Robert as well, but I do know that when I make inquiries, Patrick directs me straight to REM and doesn’t address the issues himself.Patrick seems to be a very intelligent guy and, honestly, I still occasionally listen to his educational content, but I will never invest with him again. is he licensed series 7 so he can legally take fees or was he a principal or employee so he could legally take fees ? 

I have a 4plex in las vegas nv that I purchased last year, it has a community laundry room.

You can find quality operators and leverage their expertise which allows you to be an investor in more than just multifamily - you can get into the other asset classes you mentioned - self storage, car washes and many many more!

LOL.. if you cant do the deal with your local HM lender and partner you meet at a reia and that you know you have no business doing this until you can. ( not you specifically the public)also if you look at the laundry list of requirements to get funded MOST cant and wont be able to accomplish that.. so they get denied right there and the \3 to 5k is gonzo.... who gets 3 contractors to bid on projects these days.. the deal wont wait around for that stuff unless your in a very cold market.

We renovated the upstairs with included: new kitchen countertops and backsplash, adding a half bath and laundry room to the main floor, refinishing the hardwood floors, painting everything, refreshing the main and master bathrooms (paint, new fixtures, regrouting tub/shower surrounds).

Multi-Family may require more maintenance (Con) but that cost may be offset by installing a coin-operated laundry room (Pro)3.

Things like septic pumps burning out, steam room dying, guests catching the grill on fire and leaving burn marks on the hardi siding, emergency bug treatment, above ground pool which is ridiculously hard to manage in our heat & having no time to deal with it if it starts to go, laundry & drying time for all the towels and linens, etc, etc.There are plenty of things we can and will get better at, but I'm prioritizing the stress level of my people as well as the very near disasters we've narrowly avoided, over the little bit of extra revenue we'd generate.

There is whole laundry list of visa's one could have, none of which give you a SSN.     

looking back I got a decent deal but it took too long to close and I need to find a team for the long term to accumulate fourplexes or build them.I'm wondering if people involved are just washing their hands if my deal rather than grow from it.Emails from before closing were insane looking back on it. 

The last thing you want is a laundry list of issues during your next turn.
