I'm based in Denver and have a background in coliving/ communal housing, but see a need for Oxford houses as well in this area.

The idea of Cash Value Life insurance is brand new to me, and was introduced by a financial advisor, but looks promising.Some background on me:I have a W-2 job and make about $80,000/year.  

Quote from @Matthew Estrada: Hello everyone,I recently read a post and wanted to share my experience with The “Flip System”, as I believe transparency is crucial when considering investments like this.I come from a blue-collar background as a first responder in Los Angeles, and I was drawn to Flip System due to the promise of having deals vetted and presented to me, as well as receiving education on how to fix and flip, implement the BRRRR strategy, and sell turnkey properties.

I tried to find a qualified tenant around May for about a month, I had everything in place (application, rental criteria, lease agreement, background check co., tours, etc) however, many applicants had evictions and poor credit history (low credit score doesn't bother me, but when you have 7-10 credit card and personal loans in default, it's a serious red flag.)

My background is commercial real estate and that is a normal way of doing it there.

Many colleagues I've spoken to start at $1,200+ and I've learned the hard way, you get what you paid for.Unless you have a tax background I would not recommend tackling these returns yourself given all you're doing and if you plan to add more partnerships in the future it's even more important you work with a tax professional you know, like, and trust.I've seen people in the same situation to save ~$3,000 in prep fees, did the return themselves, then received a $120k IRS notice of change to their return.

With my Controller/CFO background looked at our annual spending. 

They used to have a list on their site of states they don't cover for background for about 24 states but they removed it and told me I need to call.

I know someone doing very well with the franchise so I think it might have to do with the personal background of the investor getting in to the deal.

But focus on the sponsor and their background / history as that is very important
