You know I suspect but don't know for sure.. the Co owners of the fund recruited Brandon for his star power as the original face of BP and podcast host..

I had one C/O bring me a lady with four duplexes, that I wholesaled for $18k each.

I have 4 STRs including 2 for 25 years and I consulted the co-host for local cost estimates.  

Condos will be your best option when compared to co-ops because only about 15% of co-ops allow subletting.

I can tell from your initial post, that your former co-workers (...you've really got to love saying that!...)

The title Co is at a loss, has anyone ever done this and how did they purchase the property?

Just as much as you compare yourself to others that got lucky (literally, they could have lost their butts too) with better investments/markets, you also need to consider the folks that never invested, live paycheck to paycheck, etc...Markets that got away for me: Frisco/breckenridge/summit county (Never could have bought there anyway, just hurts I probably won't be able to)Denver/Co springs: Own one here, but from 2018-2022 a lot of values doubled, I purchased january 2022.

Right now, I am curious about, but not anything close to sophisticated on, office, especially in the suburbs of Denver where I live.

If a warranty deed has been filed or even a memorandum of sale or a lis pendens, it makes getting clear title virtually impossible without the co-operation of the one who filed or having assistance from an attorney and maybe a long, costly, lawsuit. 

I would recommend speaking with @Denver McClure as he could provide some insight into this.
