Quote from @Ray Forrest: Hi Hannes,Does Raisemasters provide any sort of templates, guidance or content on building a website for raising capital? 

Unfortunately, I think you should eat the cost on this.If you have a door that can lock, you should provide the key.

What advice can you provide if any. 

We’re still waiting for next steps on that one re: borrower repayment or foreclosure. what type of returns do they provide to investors?

If you sell your only overachiever to go with a more leveraged position, you could have 2-3 properties that may cover themselves or even provide a little profit, but when the rental markets shift (and they do), now you have 2-3 properties that all require you to supplement for their shortages. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

There are plenty of such service providers available, though they typically charge 10-20% of the gross rent.

That's the opportunity.I also recommend engaging an 'investment focused' realtor (not the general residential ones) to guide you through the process and provide you with market intelligence.
