But I agree this was NOT a wise Invesment.

At that point we hired an independent appraiser and the numbers came back good and the hard money lender agreed to use them.  

Complete Ponzi scheme either way and that I do have  proof of that as do hundreds of others  i agree but everyone only discussing the mendenhall brothers and I think she controls the money for they stuff tht most are affected by ..i saw the Mendenhall that no longer works at the company had his cel l number removed after I posted it in the other pageDutch’s wife Vanessa Mendenhall runs the Seminar Solutions entity mentioned previously.

I couldn't agree more about the network.

And always check social media for red flags and I agree with Vince, always meet a person.  

I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

Nothing fancy at all but waterfront.I will agree that basic numbers look pretty bad.

Brian Davis: @Don Konipol I totally agree.

Quote from @Brian Malavsky: Totally agree with everyone else and I didn’t see anyone mention an “Umbrella Policy” I just got quoted this week for $1,000,000 coverage for only $350/yr.

Agreed.
