I'm a skittish newbie who really wants to get invested in real estate, and the kind of products Morris Invest purports to offer (full service, a mentorship-style walkthrough of the whole experience, and a tailored approach to use the resources the investor has available) is a really tempting way to get started.Here are some things that have been different about my experience thus far (compared to the posts I found from pre-2020): - Previous offerings: rehab units; current offerings: new builds - Previous market: Indianapolis; current markets: Joplin, MO, Lubbock, TX and Odessa, TX - Previous financing affiliate: Ocean Point; current financing affiliate: SDIRA Wealth - Previous communication: bad (delayed, uninformative, and the like); my experience this week: ~10 minute delay in the scheduled phone call; very responsive via email (I received the follow-up mentioned on the call within twenty minutes of hanging up; I sent a reply with many detailed questions at lunchtime today [12:43 PM ET] and received a thorough response same day [8:05 PM], including a simplified pro forma example.) - During our phone call yesterday, I was strongly encouraged to visit the development prior to purchase; none of the previous reviews mentioned this even as an optionHas anyone worked with the company recently, or has anyone heard of any recent engagement with Morris Invest? 

PS: My potential mentor would have me doing business as an affiliate of his company for the duration of the mentorship.

Can't they encode that preference into the ATM card?

And, wouldn't you know it, he was affiliated with someone selling exactly that good or service. 

In my research of his brand I heard some interesting stuff about the seminars affiliated that gave me pause.  

As a guy who prides himself on being independent (I am not affiliated with any political party...if you want my vote you have to earn it) the folks who are keen to drop folks to the streets have their own problems, and the folks trying to cast a wide enough net to catch everyone are not doing anyone any favors.

So I have seen Jamil a lot and astroflipping and I know he’s affiliated with BP.

I naively assumed if someone had an affiliate or preferred vendor they would do a better job of vetting them AND if things went wrong would proactively make things right. 

It costs about 250 a year to be an affiliate

When anyone seems to defend a guru, they are called affiliates or even probed to discover if they are an 'affiliate'.
