Ideally, they can provide you with comps and be a resource, but you still need to do all of your own research. 

Currently seeking mentors and resources that would like to work with a detail-oriented individual.

Tom, how much success have you had collecting the judgements?

@Scott Smithhttps://www.ncsha.org/resource/opportunity-zone-fund-directory/Here is a directory for some opportunity zone funds...state and nationwide.

Then if some crazy event happens or lawsuit and judgment, you have many hurdles for the plaintiff and lawyer to jump through, and when their lawyers sees their is no money at the end of the road to collect on, then they wont take the case since they won't get paid.

haha Look forward to being a resource for as many people as possible. 

So the easy math would be you get 50% profit overall and your partners get 25% each.. and you collect interest of the loan on top..Good luck..  

I'd also be happy to be a resource for you.

Or, do you just mean that I'll be dealing with a frivolous lawsuit that will just waste time and resources?

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old.
