Never heard of them before....but your typical real estate "mentoring" guru will invite you to a free 2-3 hour session, and convince you to come to all day on Saturday or 3 day weekend course for $299-$399, when you are at that course, they'll convince you to be a Big Dog player for full on mentoring at $15,000-$50,000.   

This will further hurt the "small guy", cheaper houses and units that already have to constantly compete on price. 

I built the property in 2005 each unit is 4 bedrooms 3 bath  in Houston Texas I just spent the weekend masterminding with serious players in the group home space. 

Another great resource is Linkedin, reach out to players in your area and offer to take them out to coffee or lunch.

You'll be competing against agencies working for other investors or big firms.4.

From my experience, it seems that's why it's hard to find dependable cleaning & property management for STRs because it's a higher volume of turnover of guests, and property owners can only pay so much for management/cleaning.Something like that, highly systematized may compete the price down too.

Duty not to compete?

I want three things: 1) I don't want to manage the notes in any real way (discussing actions to be taken on notes is fine as long as someone else more competent than me is doing it!)

But this is one of those polarizing issues where I'm unlikely to change any minds, so I'll leave it at this:  a co-investment, significant or otherwise, isn't going to make an incompetent sponsor competent, an inexperienced sponsor experienced, or a dishonest sponsor honest. 

They can't compete on a cost or rental rate basis, unless supported by a large corporate office for price reductions.3.
