For new prospective investors who have more money than time, I think this might be a better first investment than trying to be an out-of-state landlord.You do all of your vetting upfront—of the operator, the asset, the loan, and the area.

I was looking at CCIM courses, and they look great, but want to see if there's anything else out there that focuses on larger multi unit investing education.

It comes out that they made adjustments on October 4th, to a few proeprty ledgers  18 months prior (april 2023).Also they  are trying to claim their 10% fee from the security deposits they are holding for me.They’re now claiming I owe them money that wasn’t owed, it’s only showing as owed beciase of the ledger adjustment referred to earlier.This reeks of fraud to me.

I’m looking at how I can do this in partnership with other investors who will use cash and/or loans.  

Seems to work out great for me.

If you're familiar with stock options, this is exactly how call options work, although they only go out a max of maybe 27 months or so.My questions are a bit numerous, but I've ordered them roughly in order of importance for me: -Is this legal?

I have 2 properties that were previous house hacks and have decent cash flow on their own.

Latest Scam out of CA. 

I think it is common to analyze deals and see negative cash-flow, BUT what are you analyzing?

But, the situation you spelled out raises a lot of red flags.
