Thanks Ryan, now that I’m out of my busy season for work I would def love to attend.

Normal diligence is good to go through: years in business, reviews, responsiveness, personal references, insurance and bonding, etc. 

That is a very dishonest way to operate your business, and will get you a bad reputation and lose you money.

Every loan and bank will have its associated fees and cost as its the price to do business but if you see more leverage in tapping into existing equity that could very well be the case.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice starting off with this business model.

I'm self-employed and did not know if my business was going to be shut down due to the virus.

I have called the office number dozens of times, but it always seems to be busy.

Let the DST pay the Registered Rep the upfront 5 or 6%, but be sure you are aligning with a rep that truly cares about your business and follows the investment and keeps you informed through its life.
