In early 2023, retailer “Tuesday Morning” filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy ( Link ), which was only months after REV purchased a controlling stake in the company for $35 million.The point of this explanation is the absence of any mention or connection to Marco Santarelli or Norada Capital Management.The entire business model that is said to be a material part of generating the revenue to pay the returns of up to 17% annually appears to be a complete fabrication.

Quote from @Donald Hatter: Pros:- Builders have many homes to sell at one time so it is easier to negotiate a better deal than with a home owner in the same neighborhood who is trying to sell their primary residence - Buyers bust out of deals all the time and builders don't like holding completed homes- Lower maintenance which leads to easier property management expenses.
