Also, I put my money where my mouth is.

@Richard Ladenberg I only use Craigslist and word of mouth.

The problem with these set ups is you agree to keep your mouth shut if things go bad, but be an advocator if things go well.That's in the language when you deal some of these turnkey folks.

The mountain life pulled us to Spokane and we could not be happier!

The hairstylist, that's what they do 24/7,  Dentist knows the ins and out of your mouth and the restaurant is capable of basically save you time  and perhaps surprise you with new mist of flavors. 

You didn't bad mouth your competition and it tells me a lot about your character. 

Personally I have not had the best experiences with these sites, I typically go via word of mouth referrals from other investors I know from in-person networking in my market, or from the BiggerPockets referral tools.

Go straight to the governing city and county, call and get it straight from the horses mouth.

It takes awhile to get reviews, gain traction, get repeat guests, word of mouth from satisfied guests, etc.   

The fact that this sponsor used investor money to gamble on high yield unsecured notes leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
