I saw someone post in a group who I think is a schmuck brag about hitting a specific figure for their training and I just shook my head - like wow - this person is a great sales person and just steals the same lines from the business book about working hard and throwing out some slick slogans - but man oh man - when real estate gets hard people move to being a guru - just look at FB ads right now - many are not funds anymore but how to raise money, how to do X.

You know how some states barely raise an eyebrow when you swap out one investment property for another?

And normal business practices I guess go right out the window.You guys all raise a really interesting point, how did/does Clayton Morris keep pulling in money from people?

Originally born in NJ, but raised in Miami like most Cubans. 

(Finance of America, Civic Financial, a few other players) They raised rates on there 30Y product about two weeks ago.

Raising rent by a specific percentage isn't a very accurate way of handling this.

After I raised this issue with RTR, they knew they fu*ked and they paid me some money as compensation and asked me to stay quiet and not post anything negative (which I am clearly not doing).

hmmmm, raising capital for operations vs each property?

As someone born and raised in Cleveland, I've witnessed the tremendous growth in Northeast Ohio firsthand.

You can & should raise rent annually.
