And you take Tyler the author of one of the longest threads in BP history if you were going to pay rent on a vacant house don't you think that would be the one you choose.then there is the other thread were the guy put up the U tube video only to take it down Because morris contacted him and said he would buy him out or fix it.. to me its as I have stated these guys are caught and they want to put the genie back in the bottle. but at the end of the day what they have done is very wrong.. having done this business all my life the BEST imperical evidence of occupancy is the neighbors hands down.Here is another company that came to me looking for funding in 2001 for KC and Indy  I told them you cannot buy cheapest real estate in the city and pay rents on vacant units.. it created a huge Ponzi schemehttps://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2016/lr23451.htm   you will see post on BP from Clatfelter as well when they were still trying to sell stuff. but be that as it may.. its really up to those that have suffered loss's to either do nothing or its very simple to file a complaint on line it takes 5 minutes and let the state decide if this business practice is acceptable.

Investors bear responsibility for doing their due diligence on any investment they make - or being willing to suffer the consequences IF the sponsor/syndicator did the following and possessed the following 1.
