Anyone in business takes risks, but a lawsuit and some other things don't look great.

Short term, leaving financing in place during rehab prior to resale — great strategy with limited risk to either party. 

I’ve been involved in real estate investing for over 30 years, so if you ever have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.

I have 30+ units and on a regular month usually only spend about 5 hours total on management things, most of which involves collecting rents and bookkeeping.

Absent them, risk is controllable over time.

This 2 to 1 ratio is required because 1) they are work and my time deserves to be highly compensated. 2) big rehabs have some risk.

This option is ideal for penalty-free investment but comes with added complexity and strict IRS rules.Alternatively, a 60-Day Rollover allows you to withdraw funds and redeposit them into an IRA within 60 days to avoid penalties, though it carries the risk of missing the deadline.

With 20 years of experience managing 30+ long-term rentals, a few STRs, and running a property management company in Central Florida, I’ve learned both have their place in a portfolio if you diversify based on your risk tolerance and the timing for your goals.

I would probably take the risk at $500, but $1k feels more of a ripoff like most guru programs. don't waste your time if they don't meet your criteria there is ZERO chance they will meet this guys.. remember they make their money with you folks dreaming of making money and paying for the dream.. 

Best bet would be a “partnership” with a monied individual looking for a high risk/high return passive investment with you providing the “active” part.
