I'm invested with individuals who have each put much more cash into the deal than I have, and their only compensations is a fixed percent of total profit. 

It gives me another exit strategy by having the option to sell off individual properties to retail buyers if needed.

I would like to connect with like minded individuals.

We can also lend to both individuals and LLCs.I'd be happy to share my experience as both an investor and as a lender.

When We were in NOLA a year or so ago, it has shown it's disrepair and poor management.

If you are young and poor, you have to leverage because its the only way to get some wealth.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Some other other options to consider that may be easier, would be these: 1) Take your $840k and have a money manager at Vanguard, Fidelity or Schwab invest it in individual bonds at a 4-5% return. 

If you can identify your real drive, maintain consistency and discipline, and continue networking with other like-minded individuals, I think you will eventually find great success one day.

I dont know of anywhere that you can cashout $270k against equity in an RE portfolio without closing/origination costs other than through a private banking relationship as a HNW individual.
