Yes, there can be value in there but as a member subscriber, you will get non-stop solicitation.Recently I had one of my Gurus tell me I would never get success with their basic program (of course this is well after I bought it) and I needed to spend $75K!!!!!

I hope that 1st time investors will read this thread and be very careful when investing with Grocapitus and demand penalties for delays and non performance.

But now with the joy and headaches of non-metered units, trying to wrangle 3 different set's of persons into playing nice, etc etc.. 

With current interest rates, and they are at least 1% higher with potentially additional points for non owner occupied property, it is hard to find properties that will allow for positive cash flow after paying the mortgage, if you are looking for money for the down payment from a private lender, those are normally at higher than market and I am not sure it would be possible to pay it off.... please remember you need to take into account that you may not have a tenant for a certain amount of time, a tenant may stop paying rent, or you will have a big ticket item to fix, so I would wait if I were you and save to have enough for the down payment and closing costs and perhaps some money set aside for repairs. you also want to make sure that you have your own emergency fund outside of the money needed for the investment property because life happens ....

They probably want to be certain YOU are legit.Most of the scams I've seen are by non-owners. 

Another option is to put an electronic deadbolt on the front door with a non-locking door knob.

It saved me when things got real (hello, crazy boyfriend with trust issues).Security Deposit: Non-NegotiableOne full month of rent as a security deposit (at the very least!)

If you had no knowledge and they broke the lease I'd issue a notice of non renewal, but give them the option to remove the cats.

Or, depending on the property you could go non-QM with like a DSCR loan and close in an LLC or partnership.

Having said that, we also have many clients we use our systems and processes for crypto funds, buying existing businesses, funding startups, hedge funds, venture capital, and even non-profits.
