crazyDo these people just hand over the keys to their car also and hope it comes back ok?

This appears to be a 'transfer tax' instead of an income tax. 

Quote from @Jake Andronico: Just spoke to a developer in Northern Nevada, and he made a comment that was pretty shocking to hear first hand. 

You will learn the most from first-hand experience.

Do you know what you are doing based on actual practical hands on experience?

The profit was around the same but I lost a lot of wealth in that transfer.

on the one hand, if you're happy with it, and you believe in this market, and this is what you wanted, great. the fact that you're asking the question shows that you're being thoughtful about it.with that said, it sounds like you're into the deal for almost $90K out of pocket, and so if you asked me if i would put $90K of my hard earned cash into a property to get $175 month, the answer is no. 

Yes I recently purchase this so called mentorship but before I made the purchase like a few other people stated here on this platform they were contacted and a so call interview to see if you are a good fit ...bulls..t they pry to see if you can pay with a credit card as Ed said word for word you can use more than one card but before purchasing I told Ed Peter's right hand man I do not want books and video if that is what it is I don't want it .. ooh no he says we hold your hand meaning peter as I can see someone else got the same script on this platform ..after paying 15 000  guess what came in the mail books and software with videos go figure and I stressed that is not what I want and asked for my money and Peter said no refunds  I suggest you watch the videos I called to chime in on his Q&A session he was answering question from one of the another protégé  and once he finished and the protégé  hung up Peter said if you have any questions punch *6 so I'd did just that instead of him asking me what was my question he hung up the phone on me as if I was not there it is was sad because there was only 2 people that was on the line me and the other supposed to be protégé if you are thing Bout being apart of epartners  I suggest you think twice I don't think it is a good idea I am out of 15 000 as 4/26/22 I am furious  these so-called wealthy people are ripping of the public 15,000 is a lot of money to be in debt with no income coming in and you put your trust in a person  that claims to be helping you reach financial freedom and don't give a dam if you live or die stay away from this program

I never said you can't make money buying entry level single family homes in the Midwest or any market for that matter....but the investors who are most inclined to succeed are the hands on operators, not the passive investors or those paying retail price for a turn key in a lower tier neighborhood with no barriers of entry.

-- if you're looking for a way to get your hands onto more capital quickly you could certainly do this.
