HVAC system hits a hiccup and it's 3 years of gross cash-flow.

I love the fact that I can be mentored by professionals who have been doing real estate investing in south Florida for over 20 years, can have all of my deals funded by them, can shadow them as they talk to potential sellers and buyers and can network with a sizeable amount of other students that have also sacrificed to get into the mentorship program but the price point has hindered me thus far.In the past I've paid for courses and info that have gotten me as far as I have gotten but I see the mentorship program as being the fire that I need to hit the ground running in investing (alongside the fact that if I'm inactive within the program for more than six months that I would have to repay and start all over - so there's that) as well as the few students that I've seen, see success through the program AND the mentors themselves being diligent in helping their students acquire profits.I apologize for my loquacious post but I wanted to make sure that I provide all the info one would need to give an accurate opinion and aid in my issue.

Depending on your goals and investment strategy, you may be better served investing alongside other investors in a fund that takes down a long term buy and hold through a sponsor.

There have been a few hiccups during her tenancy, but nothing major.

So in my mind you've got to evaluate these kinds of investments along side other opportunities to invest in companies, either as angel, start up, early investor, or limited partner.
