I laughed at your casual use of the word, "sponsors," as though it is typical for investors to send their money off to heavily marketed investment schemes.

On your last point "beyond SF rentals" this is something I have felt weighing heavily for the past 12 mths or so.       

I invest heavily with Ashcroft Capital (I am also part of their Investor Relations team for full transparency) and I am currently in 8 of their deals.

Look up an accountant that heavily works with real estate investors .

I'm feeling decision paralysis pretty heavily 😂

I will toot my own horn as I have real estate experience and invest heavily in notes and will tell anyone you are 100% of the time better off selling your home outright to someone rather than seller financing it over the long term.

Plus, I just find it easier to do as many tasks as possible in one platform, which is why I'm leaning so heavily on Baselane these days.

The Agency’s investigations are complaint driven, so we rely heavily on the public, and our licensees to bring these individuals to our attention.

I've dealt heavily with investment buildings on the south side of Chicago and know the neighborhoods well.

I'd lean heavily towards screening a different tenant.
