With your comment "Assuming they are not lying about past projects" is accurate and kept in mind:I would have my CPA go over the numbers, I'd have my attorney tell me about the liabilities of the structure they are proposing and I'd ask the partners what happens if the market changes and everything goes wrong.If all of that checks out to your satisfaction, and you want to be a passive investor then sure, people invest across the country all of the time.Ask your CPA about the tax liability in your particular circumstance.

She made comments about her house being my next project i thought she was joking at first.

Appreciate your comments!

The comments about the HML not wanting your property are correct.

Thank you for your comments.

@John Mano - I don't agree with the earlier comment that Summerlin is a "B" location.
