@Branden,I agree, I though that I could save time and money by finding a templated design but that may not be the case.  

We're currently saving up enough for a 20% down for a conventional loan to bypass having to pay for PMI and MIP, as these 2 additional monthly expenses are a "make it or break it", in finding a cash flowing property in California.I would love to know what your story was like when you first started your real estate investing journey!

You can either send in capital you've saved in a highly accessible account or you can invest using your retirement savings.Wire Liquid FundsIf you've saved your investment capital in a highly-accessible, highly liquid savings or other bank account, you can simply wire the entire investment amount to the sponsor, according to the instructions provided in the investment documentation.

They are not outright scams and people do some deals but you almost certainly would have been better off saving the money and profits and doing it yourself.They call the up front fee your "skin in the game". 

We really have no idea where to start but have about 50k in liquid savings and investments.

can you give me a rundown onf the type of info it provides?

Plus maybe you do a 1031 exchange 3 in to 1, save all the taxes and reduce the number of loans by 2.

If not can you message me his contact info?

I don't think there is any amount of savings that could justify the cost of a total tear down and rebuild.

If you can share some more info on that, I will appreciate it.
