@Joshua Dorkin Recently got an email from someone who claimed to be affiliated with the company BlueSky Lending LC and that they might be able to finance a certain deal I was putting together.Had been conversing with the apparent impersonator through an email listed on the biggerpockets profile; however, on 'copying' an email of the 'same person' listed on the company's business website, I got a response from one John claiming not to know the other John and wanting to know what was going on.

It takes some time of actually doing it to fully comprehend what is involved.

Scott the agent, has said the owner of these properties does not have an affiliation with Pii, however Scott Howe does. 

I do a lot of self studying but I know a lot of people kind of have an inability to do so and comprehend on their own.

You also have additional accounting, taxes, management hoops with parent LLCs or affiliates, you certainly don't need that as a small investor. 

Includes employees and affiliates as well. 

Pre-screening includes: income requirements in very plain terms (annual income) as some ppl don't seem to comprehend what 3x rent really means, no smokers, pets, etc.
