. ;-)  While I wait for delayed communication from them, I am looking for alternate management in the Canton area. 

You want to delegate all the mundane tasks to others and focus on doing tasks that only you can do.While you are calculating the costs of all the raw materials, you also have to calculate your salary into the total cost of writing your own handwritten letters.

If this isn't an attractive alternative to your business partner then you might consider changing the ownership structure or operating agreement as one of your options.

Because your alternative is zero income.

These self employed 2nd mtg's are typically based on alternative method of caluclation like profit and loss statements if you're self employed or the last 12 months of bank statement deposits using a formula to derive an income from these deposits (like 50% of all annual rolling 12 calendar month deposits X 50% /12 months = monthly income).

  - 10% on material  from Lowe’s/HomeDepot. - Capital partner that can assist with cash as needed. - potential equity in primary residence Asks/Needs to achieve goals. - In need of assistance formulating a concrete plan to achieve goals.- Assistance putting the knowledge and resources together to close next deal. - Looking to attend real estate meetups and expand network. - Locating and putting together the right  team that’s needed.-  Joining communities and connecting with others on a similar path. 

I'm not sure how fast you want to scale, but I see that as a feasible alternative if you don't want to go through the process of either BRRRing or the fix and flip. 

An e-course is always a waste of time because all cohorts or coaching win because of the others in the group, not the material.

Is Guesty or Lodgify a good alternative?
