Short term "quick money" kinds of opportunities don't really appeal to me as I view it more as gambling.

@Minh Vuif you have to ask random people on the Internet... pass

They don't have a team of people that scrub the internet trying to discourage it.

I would not trust random people on the internet  LOLmy guess though is you do.. their might be a few states were you don't need a license but not many if any is my thought on it.  

All this to say, my base case is that right now rates are the lowest they've been in almost a year and it's more of a gamble to wait and see what the Fed does than to take what we have now.

The internet has a way of highlighting all the scams out there, but fail to mention the ones that are doing good work.I lack the charisma, but I do have a soul and a successful community.

You gambled your investment capital on an internet investment-promoter.

From what I have read, most internet "gurus" suggest putting each property into its own LLC, 123 Main St.

Anybody can market a set of trust documents on the internet. 

Frankly I think this is just the way it is on the internet - people expect everything to be free, and don't really want to pay for anything.
