That said, the appeals board is there to protect everyone to ensure people pay their fair share.

Hey Heather, thanks for sharing...we're about to start our MTR journey and looking for the best software/systems to use.  

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

Or even just looking to find some reassurance while I play the waiting game.Any insights, stories or shared experiences would be great!!

You're not sharing thew whole story, and it only your side of the story, so it's difficult to give advice.Time is money, and no one wants to work for free, so the PMC probably feels that they want something for all their time invested in taking pics, writing an ad, publishing and taking all the phone calls and handling showings. 

Development is a speculative investment, and limited partners typically will want a much higher upside potential, so you might be better off starting a fund where you agree to share the profits with the investors even after they recover their initial investment. 

Thankfully before I ended up pulling the trigger, someone shared the whistleblower article on these forums...

And help or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks Typically a local investor will have a neighborhood grade map they use and will share with you.

Thanks for sharing Jack. 

Julie,I just wanted to thank you for the valuable insights you shared with us.
