I do know an independent landlord in our area that has one duplex and a fair housing organization filed a suit against him two years ago and he has had to defend it.  

This was verified by MBDs personnel (Brian Dozier) ON THE RECORD if you actually read the court documents.4) Dozier also verified on the record that he was the only one in control of operating MBD and responsible for the money.5) When I received money from my investments from them during the good days, it always came direct from MBD and at the time I even signed a doc acknowledging this.Lastly, the OP mentions several larger investors forcing MBD into an involuntary bankruptcy to recover our assets was a good thing yet they don't mention that:1) Sief IS the one who led the efforts against MBD, organized investors and looked out for all our interests.

I am especially interested in knowing how much capital it takes to get entitlements organized, etc.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

Similar to what John Kunich said.And we have used Baselane to organize our finances and manage our spend better, e.g we don't defer maintenance, we still spend the money as needed.
