Stain enhances and highlights blemishes.

Here are highlights from the firm's Houston multifamily report for spring 2018.

I am only trying to give the BP community a thread talking about paid education from people who have actually paid for an education.This thread’s purpose is not to highlight or advertise any one specific training program or guru, it’s purpose is to find out if those people who paid a lot for education got their money’s worth.So whether you have paid for education on note investing,  multi-family investing, syndication investing, lease options, Airbnb, or how to flip houses for a profit, I would love to hear from you and see if, in your opinion, the money you spend was worth it.

This doesn't affect me, but the things you highlighted seem reasonable.

In one deal referenced the poster highlights a major potential conflict of interest as Capella supposedly used an appraisal generated by the borrowers without disclosing this to investors, who later invested $3.9M to finish a luxury home Capella claimed was 80% complete.

I suggest printing them out and making notes, highlight key items, etc on them to give you a better understanding of the laws.

Highlight those things that are for the business and put in a drawer(file for the business) then on the other set highlight everything else that is a personal write off for taxes.
