If you do, you risk getting bad reviews even if you warn people. 

I have noticed a trend over the pasts 10 years where more and more of the people have zero involvement in the day-to-day operations of the property and are only raising money.  

You can have (2) people on the same loan or more. 

I have 50+ people on my contracting company only working on the houses I buy and am speaking from that experience starting with zero contractors less than 3 yrs ago and having been burnt very had multiple times throughout the process. 

I personally would never invest money in an area that I didn't know, with people I didn't know, in a business I knew nothing about.

For years I told people the most dangerous spot for a real estate investor is 1 or 2 units.

I have heard lot people put property's into an LLC for protection from lawsuit but they have multiple properties 5+.  

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

They're basically saying, we are liars and can't be trusted....and other people should know we are liars and cant be trusted.

The location definitely was obvious, at least to me.I’ve hosted monthly meetups in my area of Mesa, Arizona for around 7 years now and the majority of people that attended came from BiggerPockets.
