Cape Coral fared very well against that storm as a whole, and it's not likely to be any different with IanMost of what you see from the news and media is highly dramatized and has little merit.

I know I'd love to hear some good debate about the merits and demerits of wholesalers.

@Jonathan VillegasLike most commission-based learning programs, Renatus has some merit and value but you can do much better for a fraction of the cost by networking with agents, wholesalers and investors at your local clubs and meetups.

See a lawyer with the facts of the case to see if there is any merit. 

@William Bray and @Adam Hershman you're certainly free to discuss the merits of SDIRA accounts for real estate and other non-traditional assets. 

She pays the rent and keeps the place in decent shape, yet she merits those monikers, ostensibly because you don't like being inconvenienced by your customer? 

My only thought when I hear that is - "Have you run your assumptions by your lawyer before you advocate the merits of your own self-created asset protection plan to the rest of the world?"  

Unlike Rule 505, all non-accredited investors, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must be sophisticated—that is, they must have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment;Companies must decide what information to give to accredited investors, so long as it does not violate the antifraud prohibitions of the federal securities laws.

I'm not exactly sure how it is supposed to work, but it sounds like it might have merit.  

To qualify the purchasers of the securities must:i.either have enough knowledge and experience in finance and business matters to be “sophisticated investors” (able to evaluate the risks and merits of the investment), or be able to bear the investment's economic risk;ii.have access to the type of information normally provided in a prospectus for a registered securities offering; andiii.agree not to resell or distribute the securities to the public.Find out more on applicable exemptions (Reg D, etc) at my blog on syndications at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/7617-chicago-m...
