Despenas LLC aka SDIRA Wealth aka Modern Day Living Real Estate LLC are all scam companies that inflate housing prices in the neighborhood only to sell eviction-prone extremely damaged homes with no intent to perform the agreed-upon inspection repairs and send you through multiple corporate hoops after purchase only to completely ignore you immediately after the sale.

The main reasin is for a better clearance of liability. with you editing a signed contract, that has a high Probability of letting a tenant be able to void the contract and it actually happening.

On the other hand, I feel one of the main advantages of passive investments (via syndication/crowdfunding) is that I can hire a manager who has years more experience than I can ever hope to obtain myself.

A couple thoughts on your question:I tell our STR investors in Colorado that their main goal should be to set up the right way right out of the gate.

If I put myself in the shoes of the outside partner/investor friend, I would be very concerned because: 1) unclear and/or potentially conflicting business plan, 2) even with clarity in the BRRRR business plan, unclear in the viability of pulling it off with these market conditions, 3) the chances of dispute seems very high, especially if you're going to live in. 4 years ago, I went through a  similar thought process when purchasing an investing property with mainly my family money, while considering an outside investor to rehab for higher STR ROI... 

My main goal is it be able to retire at age 40 from my main job and work entirely on my real estate portfolio.

I'd like to add another SFH to the business  in the near future with the main goal being grow the business as fast as possible. 

My main question is will I be happy in 10 years that I bought this property?

Age isn't the main factor here.  

Now my main issue is I need a fire detection system in a enclosed back porch that leads up to all three floors, but I don't know what's the minimum I would need to be compliant or that the fire marshall is suggesting what he wants or recommends.
