I am not a huge fan of the fee, but it seems common where I am located: Indianapolis.

@Badri MalynurThere are 100’s of funds that start at $10 or $100 now and do not require to be accreditedI am also not a fan at all of the fund of funds / customizable model as when the deal goes bad you are several levels from the sponsor and just paying a middle person fees that are not needed

While this leads to operational headaches, the bigger factor is the next one.Your lower quality tenants, typically, create heavier wear and tear and turn over more frequently.  

However, houses are frequently, almost routinely, removed from the sale process when the borrower makes a catch up payment or two or when the bank perceives some risk to a sale meaning that the property may leave a deficiency.

If you fly over and visit your properties frequently, that's great. 

Over the past year, I've had to make frequent calls and send numerous emails—sometimes daily to MNPMC's office and the managing partner to receive timely owner disbursements.

The security you have when the 💩 hits the fan is priceless.

@Brynn KurtzI would do additional research and learn how many people today are buying housing with none of their own moneyAlso even if you were to do this, you still need money to invest in real estate as properties need constant repairsThe most frequent mistake I see is people take these guru programs and spend all their $ on the guru and have no money to invest in real estate

Improvements might be a new light fixture, a ceiling fan, and or nicer blinds. 

I mean you could make offers and if you are in the market and they aren't you can always file complaints, (only legit ones) with the city, to keep it on their radar and make it a squeeky wheel for the current owner, but yeah i'm not really a fan of bailing out people in any industry who make mistakes, so by all means by the properties but not your or anyone else's problem that they made the errors they did.
