Hi BP family, I've done 3 flips so far, a few hiccups but overall happy with the results.

We also had a hiccup during inspections that I feel he should have been on top of.

One option is to invest in real estate alongside your IRA or solo 401k (if you qualify for a solo 401k).

So the sponsor participates in the 70% along side of the private investors according to how much of the down payment they participate in plus the sponsor gets the remaining 30%.Many of the structures are more complicated than this with a priority of how cash flows are distributed but I kept it simple here.

I have only invested in one crowd funding platform, and in that case the managers are also the sellers, and they make their money alongside the investors from buy and hold rental properties.  

Now of course being a developer I risk the building plans and other cost Usually 5 to 10k per home. but that's just the cost of doing business and we pretty much hit 99% success. but there are instances were we lose money because permits are not going to be issued.. but again just little hiccup and easily eaten.When I am doing my larger developments.. 20 to 50 lots..

If it's based on an economic hiccup you'll (to overgeneralize) have 1.) trouble with tenants paying, 2.) trouble re-renting if you have to evict, and 3.) maintaining tenant quality.  

They moved through the process, minus a few small hiccups, within 2 weeks and we were ready to close.

Also how to look for upsides. 15 lot park is not huge and may be harder to find someone you trust to manage it unless you had more properties/doors in the area you could have someone manage alongside this park. 

@Bryce Liggins I would be happy to talk with you and figure out your goals alongside actions steps to help you reach them.
