I may explain that while I’d like to buy/finance/invest in his property, I need to earn a certain return on my invested capital for the given amount of risk, and if not able to earn the return on the subject deal than I will on the next deal.  

Since the buyer is not able to get bank financing, you are charging a few % points higher.So your $289k house might sell for 320k at 9.9% for 30 years.

Using avantstay for a rental management company caused me to LOSE an average of $6711 per month as they were not able to provide enough rental income to pay the mortgages or operating expenses on the two vacation market houses.

Not good I think its a good tool for fix and flip and short term holds but not for long term holds if you have not ability to refi or enough equity to sell quickly even if you do and the sellers loan gets called they are still going to get their credit trashed. . 

A payout of 8% has already been made and they have an exit plan in the works.So, there is no reason why Grocapitus was not able to get going other than their incompetence. 

Not sure what I did wrong, but it appears I am not able to start a post for questions, but looks like I can answer post fine. 

Lack of down payment, lack of entrepreneurial personality, low tolerance for risk, looking for the magic key that fits their desires, just want to learn, sold "Castles in the sky" with a gibberish of disconnected statements that while true in a plethora of instances do not add up to truth in any one instance, fear of failure meaning not able to take a financial loss without going into poverty, never told up front how much money they will need to spend to buy the investment in addition to paying for the class.

No notable issues to date - mostly minor stuff. 

I'm registered with the the vast majority of notable nationwide DSCR lenders.

I was not able to do this.
