@Dennis Boettjer, I will echo's Brian's comment and add: also take a look at some of the threads in the Syndications review forum: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/960I do not mean this as a "here are people to invest in or avoid", as there are some groups going through current issues that, personally, I would qualify as fairly strong syndicators, overall.  

It can get what I call wear stains where people sit or lay their heads so that coating will keep that at bay.Start keeping an eye on Craigslist, FB marketplace and OfferUP for good used furniture.

Just a FYI be prepared for it to sell at a discount,Jay- I have seen people buying land notes for 12%-15% yield which is CRAZY and they are going to eventually lose their shirt once they go into default and the land value is repriced.Thank you for the info.

I'm looking to connect and meet new people that could share their own investing experiences with me!
