Yes, they also promise you continued mentoring and access to "special deals" that all of the others who paid $40K have access to.  

I am here today to start looking into securing my future success, can not stay in the military forever.

These areas include Bellaire, Rice Military, Spring Branch, Heights, and many others.  1% deals apre actually hard to find in these neighborhoods.

Median rent for a 3bd at ~$650.We're a college town and a military town, with about an equal mix of white-collar and blue-collar workers. 

I could better understand local crowdfunders who say specialized in one city or area.I know for a fact that there are people investing in these CF deals who have very little background in real estate and the are doing almost no due diligence on deals they invest in.  

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a combination CPA/attorney that specializes in real estate and asset protection?  

King Industrial in GA specializes.

It takes a special kind of person to put in the work and dedication that it takes to be successful.

I would like to share a thought I had about the trifecta to look for when hiring a good GC for your flips; Quality work; get the job done in your time frame and within budget. 1st, I once heard on 1 of the BP podcasts (sorry I don't remember who it was on which #) that you can find those that excel in 2, aspects and the 3rd is "okay", but you will rarely find a GC that specializes in all the aspects.

I believe you are referencing cash management, which is only applicable on larger loans, or those with special circumstances.
