I have joined several REI Mentorships including WREIN (Women's Real Estate Investment Network) in Dallas, TX and and Vertical Street ventures in Phoenix, Arizona (Syndications) .

It sounds like you and your husband have a great start with your Airbnb venture in California, but it’s understandable to feel stuck with so many options in real estate investing.

That's fantastic to hear about your new venture into real estate investment and entrepreneurship.

This was a costly venture that, combined with several months of lackluster performance, did not allow for distributions to our shareholders.

However, there are strategies and approaches you can explore to make this process smoother.If your PML is hesitant to fund directly for auction purchases due to the risks, consider structuring a partnership where the PML becomes a joint venture partner.

Quote from @Jon Parks: I think it's safe to assume your capital is gone in failed business ventures.

These properties just haven't been cutting it and exploring new ventures.

It's called "Investing in Real Estate Private Equity: An Insider’s Guide to Real Estate Partnerships, Funds, Joint Ventures & Crowdfunding".

And on the alternative investment side, I have real estate, private equity, venture capital, GP Stakes, music royalties, litigation finance, etc.I don’t feel comfortable, sharing my portfolio amounts etc on the public Internet.

I was fitting this into an awkward schedule.The Facebook group was welcoming and fun to lurk and read posts, getting a feel for the community.Contracts in the document library were great – but overwhelming (you’ll see this phrase a lot)This was a main value for me – hiring lawyers to write contracts without knowing potential pitfalls or where I could/could not protect myself was a major concern.These contracts are worth the price of admission and only available w/in community.These contracts cover Joint Ventures (JVs) between parties, Creative Deals and non-creative deals, WRAPs, RVs, Automobiles, Leas Options, Wholesale Assignments, Hybrid docs and more.I haven’t actually gone through all of them yet.Tens of Thousands of dollars have been spent refining these contracts and just having access to this library was worth the price.
