@Nina Erlandson Personally, I have not heard of Obie Insurance.

For Example:  All Blue houses make more money.Lots of times, I tell people not to trust me, since my topics can be vetted, plus I don't know their personal situations.Just surprised that people on the Forum don't have more Podcast visits referenced in their bylines. 

Shadow/mentor a person doing it.

Any insights, personal experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

They are all under my personal name.

This person did not raise any money, they invested around $600,000 into the offering and because they were one of the larger investors were considered a Co-GP because it was a new sponsor and they needed this persons $.

Also, the transunion credit and background check is almost $50 per person.

I'm still in the learning phase and have read about a hundred different books on FI and personal finance.Looking for any resources that might help me on my way.

Be that person who set's up some STR's there, runs em there, and really caters it to the US "bucket list" tourist. 

But if you see the value in investing money into your own personal education, then maybe this could be a good fit for you.
