@Johnny Ruiz I would start by ready this article - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-schemes-fred-trump.htmlIt goes into how to commit tax fraud pretty thoroughly, as well as other fraudulent practices, to gain riches Additionally, you can refuse to pay your subcontractors and others who provide you professional services, and then threaten lawsuit after lawsuit to keep these people to whom you owe money at bay (I have professional colleagues who have been stiffed by Trump, btw).Additionally, you can use cheap undocumented labor to build and maintain your projects, all the while you say how these very same people are murders and rapists; MAGA!

In the grant scheme of REI you need more of both it make it worth while. 

Anyone willing to share experience on partnership schemes with a passive investor they have used to purchase a cash flowing rental property?

Can't fall for the shiny new get rich quick schemes.

There's no marketing involved in getting you to use your own home, there's no guest communication during your stay required, etc.I realize $50 is nothing in the grand scheme of things but the idea of paying someone $50 to let me use my own home that I own is ridiculous.Again though, that is assuming you are paying the cleaning fee on top of this. 

I would add be careful of newer crowdfunding sites as several are going bust and a couple have been closed down as they were straight up Ponzi schemes.

Likely a small pill to swallow in the grand scheme.

First, I'd look at a longer term for your mortgage as it will lower payments which will increase your cash flow once you do rent it out.Easy ways (assuming they haven't been done already): fresh coat of paint, update light fixtures and cabinet hardware (go with classic, not trendy), replace outdated carpet and window coverings and paint your front door to add a pop of colour.

Here's the issue:  The management is engaged in what I believe to be an illegal scheme. 

I agree with @Jonathan Taylor, in the big scheme of things it is a good return.
