I bring experience navigating complex acquisitions and supporting investor strategies here in Florida's Gold Coast. 

My family was an investor in a Corporate Housing designated complex and it turned out to be very profitable.

Any time you transact with a traditional currency it goes through a very complex series of checks that ultimately are centrally controlled by some government.

They do not like doing these complex forms and charge quite a bit for them.

The three day class will give you the basic information to get started but this is a complex business and I find it helpful to be part of a network where I can ask questions as well as see what problems others are having and learn from their experience.This is a cash business so you need money to purchase the note(s), cover back taxes, legal fees, and then a light rehab prior to sale if you FC.  

I’m sure they aren’t advisable on larger projects but depending on the project size and complexity, they worked great for me. ~$650 for the study. 

Whoever taught you that I would go to them and do what they did as this setup for an ownership structure in my opinion is far to complex and your CPA is going to be scratching there head at end of year with all the tax stuff they will have to do and how you have to keep bank accounts for each entity and move money form one to the other to the other....

Without a financial education - it's hard for him to discern which.What he should NOT do is to buy toys or spend it on fun because it'll quickly be gone.If he was financially savvy or versed in real estate - he could even buy a small apartment complex and self manage it if he had some property management skills.Advice should be catered to him specifically though, blanket advice isn't that helpful.

On large complexes you can look up their website and see if they have a leasing map that identifies address/unit.

Personally I am looking to grow in RE and buy a 2nd home in LA/SD and eventually buy a multifamily complex.
