I invested to test out the process in the short term, as it was supposed to "mature" and be paid off in March 2024, and here we are in December. 

Promising a high payback percentage plus a point for each month it’s not paid.

I am assuming in this that normal cleaning was done pre-occupancy and they are excessive in their expectations.

Its dashboard is so cluttered, it hard to see who has paid and who hasn't.

simple question to ask, are investor dividends being paid out of net operating income or reserves? 

We just paid $500 for a 2,600 sqft house that was fairly clean.

I paid for the subscription for a few months and drew my own custom Google maps areas and color coded them red/yellow/green based on a "grade" I felt came from a few metrics like crime/average household income/etcI also really like realtors dot com new maps, if you search for an address and click on the map and then go to the top left and choose the Value slider it will give you a nice color coded map of which areas of a neighborhood are higher valued.

My $2000 also covers stuff that inevitably break under normal use - I had to replace a washer $700, a stove $600, a microwave $100, and a grill $400, all  within last 2 years, and paid close to $1000 for various service calls by electricians and HVAC techs and pest control. 

This way I get paid upfront for my work 1-2k plus I know I have another payday at some point in the future if the deal closes.The costs to fully develop a property and sell for near retail usually involves the costs below and takes 2-6 months or more in some cases, but the profits can be huge if you're working in markets where land costs are high:Title 200-400Legal 500-2000 depending on zoning issuesIf wetlands are present AND its a buffer zone project: 2000-5000Perc & septic design if needed 1500-3000Treescaping & cleanup for retail sale 500-1500Selling costs of 6%I tend to stay clear of properties that need more than the above expense items.  

We get paid the same whether you take a higher rate or buy down, but there are absolutely times when it makes more sense to do it one way or another.
