Also, knowing the tech terms for a project benefits u bc guys will know you know SOMETHING about what is involved. 

Just know the layers involved and be sure you are still able to complete due diligence on the sponsor. 

I was involved in R&D program with O.C. on "solving" a solar-on-the-roof solution that (a) worked and (b) was scalable. 

Meanwhile the property was deteriorating and tenants complained and got Dallas County Housing Authority involved.  

I moved to Florida in 2017 and have been involved in 45+ flips and currently manage over 36 units throughout Tampa Bay.

Basically questions that the PM/co-host need to be able to answer without having to do any deep-dive analysis.Property-specific questions such as property improvement advice, revenue potential, etc. that involve deep-dive analysis might justifiably incur an up-front cost depending on the PM/co-hosts business model.

Its certainly not "guaranteed return" - thats a word to always stay away from in real estate (in finance or even investing in general)high level - its because HMLs are going to be secured by the real estate, meaning in event of default, the lender can get the property to be made whole - somewhat trust is involved, but thats the main mechanism behind it

Maybe someone involved with 4-H.  

This is the onboarding process.The next issue we came across was "How involved do we want to be with the day-to-day operations?" 

Found out that everything the way it has played out and the details I have dug up on the tenant this is part of a an elaborate scam and includes a circle of people involved.
