Detroit's got the advantage with the Red Wings since the Barons left in 1978, so I guess there's that.

That is a red flag to me but I find it hard to believe that a business with 4.8 stars on so many reviews and A+ BBB rating could be a scam.

I was red tagged and ordered to pull permits and have the home inspected.

Here's the red flags that we had missed when we were still fairly green: This was several years ago now.

Thank you for the advice Patrick, especially regarding the financial prep, commission-based reality, and the deep industry knowledge for transitioning.I’m curious—if I start as an LOA, will that provide firsthand experience, given that I’ll primarily be assisting?

I'm reaching deep into my psychic thoughts… I see it… A majority of people who respond to this post will be real estate brokers… I can see it!

Everyone's risk tolerance is different and there is nothing wrong with that.If you havent been as thorough as you know deep down that you should, then the fear is a self-preservation instinct and you have more work to do. 

Specifically, the sponsor, Nelson Brothers Professional Real Estate (NBPRE), and later Nelson Partners Student Housing, NB Private Capital (NBPC), Versity, Versity Invest, Versity Investments, and Crew Enterprises (constant rebranding/renaming to hide past issues) had yellow/red flags about them before I invested in 2017.

I would be so deep in the red.

Now to be fair the company we are funding is a Civil engineering firm with deep experience..
