I've found the people who want to charge for their time and "mentorship" typically need the money because they are struggling- maybe not the best person to take financial advice from. 

They have to prove to any relatives and "legally" interested parties, (court, relative, creditors, etc) that all money was collected and all debts were paid.  

@Ella Marie the Pro's are you can build long term wealth, the Cons are you can lose money if you cannot properly quantify risk.

Being able to purchase a property with only 5% down means you can leverage your money way more effectively.

In the latter I would much rather have my money and be in control. 

Putting your money into a fund or syndication.

Other analysis you can do is analyzing your cash flow, passive appreciation and principal recapture to see the total picture on your ROI.Once you do the analysis, you may find putting money into maintenance may or may not be worth holding the property.

I lost my money, Hope you don't! 

The company wanted me to push stocks and bonds, but didn't want me recommending anything they didn't make money on.

For example, if a seller comes to you, looking for you to help them sell their house, your first responsibility is to help them get the most money for their house, and not try to buy their house as an investor for cheaper.
