Then you can aim for the double digit growth rate and hope to reach $100 mil.

Perhaps no people skills, but I know BS when I hear it...Some of us have been around long enough to remember Renatus when it was Nouveau Riche and before that, Nouveau Riche University -- the companies have many of the same high-level people involved, including Jim Piccolo and Bob Snyder...And regarding Nouveau Riche executives, this is from Wikipedia:"In a February 17, 2011 press release, the Arizona Corporation Commission announced that "[T]he Commission ordered James Piccolo of Scottsdale, Craig Cottrell of Tempe and Michael Roberts of Scottsdale and their affiliated companies to pay $5,577,226 in restitution and a total of $300,000 in administrative penalties for defrauding 105 investors with unregistered deed of trust investments.The Commission found that the men promoted the unregistered deed of trust investments at real estate education seminars where they convinced students to become investors, promising them double-digit returns."

However they had a looooooooooong list of questions for me [I gave answers in writing] & tons of requests for documents [which amounted to reams & reams of paper, maybe boxes of paper, however much of it was digital thank god], which I relayed through the enrolled agent.

I tried every single digit option available to reach someone, no answers.  

Lived in Los Angeles and Atlanta during my years as a digital marketing consultant. 

Anything less than double digit CoC % with this type of cash is really going to be extremely hard to get. 

There is a guy on DayTraders.com or some site asking us why are we playing with real estate.There is a woman on BitCoins-R-Us getting on my case to jump in while it's still hot in digital currency.And a Subway franchisee really let me have it the other day.They are all "right" I guess.

The best replies will come from investors who have done many of these...and the rest of the replies will come from those who have strategy bias.Aside from my active real estate, I do notes and syndications and prefer syndications due to the higher returns, I feel that money lending is a business, and I only invest in value add real estate; so, turn key will not fit my criteria (plus I'd need a ton of homes to meet my goals).Syndication investing returns single and low double digit COC annually and mid to high teen IRRs (will vary based on market conditions and asset class). 

Last year I decided to tackle figuring out how to work remotely and landed a job with a guy who wanted to build a digital marketing agency which serviced companies in the ISP industry (he owned an ISP).

I've been an entrepreneur/digital nomad for a couple years and have no chance at getting bank financing.
