Your friend should include as many details as possible concerning how they were pitched the investment in the prom note.

@Brett Riemensniderwe don't know all the details, but as i said that's a very expensive way to buy property - if you can't afford a property without overleveraging then you might just have to save up more.

My wife and I were in analysis paralysis for sure, but then the academy dropped and we were sure we wanted to get into RE, but didn’t know how and this course was WAY cheaper than comps that ultimately just try and sell you a conference that just tries to sell you… on and on plus like you said, we got most of our money back and got to keep the material. 

The biggest detail is look for a nationwide bank that is full delegated with little to No overlays.

I don't want to get into too many details yet, but to sum up my experience so far. . . 

Some additional details needed:1.

Are there any more details on the scenario you can share?

I am currently working on finalizing my goals and market analysis.

Can you give us some numbers/details on the properties?

The only creative way I can see (obviously not knowing enough details) is an owner carry with you as the operator and a JV partner as the financial backing.
