We are based on Long Island but invest in Milwaukee WI. 

in 3 years you can pay off any mortgage 500,000 or less for $1,500 bucks.. or in 5 years a $477,000 mortgage for $100..I am implementing something new for the real estate industry, primarily to mortgage holders & the rent to own industry, as a shorter-term approach to be mortgage free, without cost being an obstacle ..

That's why we require clients to spend a couple days with us in Milwaukee up front, so we can get on the same page and determine an asset quality.Hint: the hood looks much better on a spreadsheet than up close in person.

Plus, if they're THAT good, why aren't they raking in the big bucks from doing the business on their own?

I could tell you to invest in Milwaukee, you can still find cash flow positive duplexes here in good neighborhoods around 350k and we have had very consistent 8% appreciation over the last years.

Sounds like this guy is trying to make a quick buck off you.

Youre right, but if you are doing the work yourself it can be daunting because the buck stops with you and having that responsibility on your plate 24/7 every waking hour of the day and putting in 12 hour days, it can be rough.

However, as curiosity prodded, I looked into the degree that it is prohibitively expensive to consider just filing as a security anyway, irrespective of the pros and cons.Basically, I searched for "what are the costs for registering a security with the SEC" as well as "what are the costs for registering a syndication as a security with the SEC"Most the results produced explained something to the extent that the fee was about 150 bucks per million offered, without any other information on what would validate the explanation that filing a syndication as a security is prohibitively expensive.

I use Bob Dummer from PC Insurance for my Milwaukee properties.

As a SFR investor for over 15 years I have been wrestling with this question in the past, because it feels like you should upgrade to "bigger".I know for sure that I would not enjoy the ownership experience that comes with a small 4F, because in Milwaukee that typically also means lower income tenants.
