They know who their primary audience is, people who are broke, newly interested in real estate (maybe from tiktok), and want to get rich off of possible income without putting in the effort to make a bunch of money.

Pick a topic and this seems to be the #1 strategy for engaging your audience these days.

Finally, what Charlie Munger like to call the Lollapalooza Tendency Bias: when multiple cognitive biases combine together to form an almost irresistible offer or scenario.I guess the short answer to why people have invested and still invest with MI is that he has picked his audience carefully and it’s a group that is not particularly skilled in making REI decisions.To be fair, most of us aren't very good a making decisions either.Bill the architect of this scam has definitely picked their mark carefully. 

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Quote from @Don Konipol: Consider the audience. 99% of BP visitors are small-time investors who will never face lawsuits from investors with deep pockets.

Here are some other strategies:Investor Networks: Share through local REI groups or investor meetups in Colorado and Ohio.Direct Outreach: Use mailing lists or email campaigns targeting known investors or real estate firms.Social Media: Post in real estate forums or Facebook groups for investors.Websites for Property ListingsRoofstock: Specializes in selling single-family rental properties to investors, offering built-in tools for analysis.BiggerPockets Marketplace: A hub for active real estate investors, perfect for promoting rental properties.Auction.com: If you’re open to auctioning properties, this platform reaches a broad investor audience.RealtyMogul: Offers connections to individual and institutional investors, especially for multifamily properties.MyHouseDeals: Focused on connecting with investors looking for fix-and-flip or rental properties.Zillow Rental Manager: While more general, it can still attract landlords looking to expand portfolios.Mashvisor: A great platform to market properties with detailed cash flow and rental projections.PropertyShark: Targets real estate professionals and investors with access to detailed property data.These can help you reach a broader audience and possibly sell faster.

That is not luck, that is not random, that is suicide.So conclusion,  the people you are trying to skip trace (and pay money for to skip trace) are not just "a bad " audience.They are the worst possible audience.

This rule is part of the Securities Act of 1933, which was established to provide more freedom for businesses to raise capital while still protecting investors.Here are the key aspects of Regulation D, Rule 506(c):Rule 506(c) Filing:Allows issuers to broadly solicit and generally advertise an offering, provided that all purchasers in the offering are accredited investors.Requires issuers to take reasonable steps to verify that the purchasers of the securities are accredited investors.Issuers must still file a "Form D" with the SEC after they first sell their securities.The rule effectively lifts the prohibition on general solicitation and advertising for certain investment offerings, allowing companies to reach a broader audience when seeking investment.Accredited Investor Definition:To become "accredited," an investor must meet certain defined criteria regarding income, net worth, professional experience, or size of the entity (if the investor is an entity rather than an individual).

Please note the information provided below is a layman's definition designed to provide a basic understanding for the general audience.

Its essentially in the longterm best interest of the property owner to ensure there is a non-compete clause in all leases; merely for the benefit of securing longterm relationships with the tenants.A diverse tenant mix can attract a wider audience and contribute to a more vibrant environment.

Many people recognized their scam and left, but I feel like I should say something so that people who read this post doesn't end up in the same situation.What's ironic was although they stressed the importance of financial education in the beginning, they later pretty much told the audience "join the program, you'll have all the mentor, resource, and power team, and you can make money in real estate without really knowing anything and using other people's money".
