I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.

If it wasn't fraud but simple incompetence (and he lost the money), then that isn't a crime and your options are more limited.Your legal contract (and/or the state laws the entity was incorporated in...depending on where) most likely requires the sponsor to share books and records with you (so you can at least know what happened).

It seems crazy to me to share the same refrigerator and thermostat.

I'm always trying to create content that will help people make more money, and start driving towards their soul purpose.Thanks for taking the time to read this and to share your thoughts.I believe People With Financial Intelligence Can Change The World For The Better". 

I was able to get very similar numbers to the author (hard to get the exact numbers because the author rounds up and then summarizes 3 properties on top of that) when I changed the years of ownership to as follows:Property A - owned 4 yearsProperty B - owned 2 years 3 yearsProperty C - owned 1 year 2 yearsSo I guess my question to the community is, has anyone else ran the numbers and noticed the discrepancy?

If I supplied the cash and sweat equity, how likely is it for an experienced investor sign on for a fee rather than a share of equity?

South of Nashville (Brentwood, Franklin, etc) is pretty much already out of reach for rookie investors so would appreciate any insights from the community

I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.

Sharing your experience is one thing, but giving legal or tax advice is quite another.
