It is not a pleasant investment if you constantly question the honesty of your management company.You would sleep better with one that you thrust more even if they are crooks.

@Kyle RobertsonThanks for your honesty in this area.

I just enjoyed the honesty of it.

If not, they should at least appreciate your honesty.

I'm currently thinking of the following breakdown:600k in Fundrise (seems safe and low effort)500k in a triple net commercial property in a growing neighborhood in Arizona currently housing a BMO bank500k in a multiunit apartment complex deal with a friend and possibly including my brother who is also getting $2.5M300k in one or more local single family homes, Airbnb or long term rental (I think my current market has a lot of room for growth)200k in medium risk CrowdStreet investments200k in gold100k in cryptocurrencies50k for higher risk investments50k in cashI feel like stocks are way overpriced at the moment, and don't feel attracted to bonds (though to be honest, I haven't done a lot of research on bonds).

I want to vet their company, honesty and integrity.

But in all honesty, your primary home usually doesn't have much to do with getting a hard money loan.  

To be honest, I have buyers who like the cheaper purchase price to get more doors.

1) Yes the MIH mastermind is paid... to be honest, I hesitated on the cost at first, but now I wouldn't trade it for the world - you have to remember, is not about the price you pay, its about the value you get 2) When I said marathon, I was talking about my real estate journey so far, not just this one transaction. 

I don't want to put the cart before the mule here but to be perfectly honest I don't know which is the cart and which is the mule.
