I haven’t personally worked with Five Stream Ventures, but I’ve found that vetting companies like these is all about the referrals and track record.

Making sense of the deal and understanding their track record is important, of course, but I believe you should develop TRUST before you invest.

But the answer for everyone may differ.Here are the personal attributes I see in those able to achieve a higher than market ROI, enough higher to be able to “scale”.1- Knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance2- Minimum 3 -5 years full time, or near full time experience directly related to real estate investing3- Ability to utilize technology for increased efficiency, capacity, and accuracy4- Excellent hired legal counsel and excellent hired marketing help5- Established method(s) of obtaining consistently high QUALITY deal flow6- Ability to manage and choose people who are NOT employees: Attorneys, Appraisers, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Brokers, Title Companies, Surveyors, Marketing Specialists, Accountants, Contractors, Consultants, Property Managers7- A VERIFIABLE track record of success8- Ability to identify, analyze, and negotiate a deal that can be “worked” for “enhanced” ROI9- Some type of competitive advantage; for example for me it’s my ability to analyze and identify mortgage loans that are actually less risky than all other lenders believe (on the investing in debt side), and on the real property side it’s my ability to analyze”pull the trigger” with LESS information than other investors need,  combined with the ability to pay cash, or raise significant capital almost instantly as well as being able to obtain loans at the lowest prime customer bank rate with no recourse or personal liability.

Id say 100% of my evictions are "no money back, get out now, see you in court, get my judgement, place it on public record."

Quote from @V.G Jason: From my understanding deportation will work this way;1) Removal of all incarcerated illegal immigrants.2) Removal of illegal immigrants with a violent and multiple offenses within a criminal  record3) Removal of all illegal immigrants with any criminal record.4) Removal of single male illegal immigrants-- no families will be deported.Expectations are expected to be about 1.3MM of deportation--including the first 500k in 2025.This is just the policy I was briefed on.

That guesthouse has been here since the 50’ as it’s on record, but has no permits or CofO  If I permit it as an ADU, I can no longer short term rent it.

When you think about it, only the flipper will know the expenses (not generally public record) so analysts or data aggregators can only go off publically available data.
