A lot of big promoters lie. 

Given that the "portfolio" page is marketing designed to entice investors to invest or raise confidence in your investor acumen it should be accurate.

As long as they were getting these monthly fees there really was no incentive for them to promote.

Therapy, House cleaner, prepared meal delivery, promotion at work, avoid annoying co-worker by switching to a new team/office, laundry service, move so you have a shorter commute? 

I don't want to provide a link as it will be seen as self-promotion and taken down, but if you google my The Gifford group, or divorce buyout calculator, our website or YouTube should pop up. 

Given the vagaries in the current rates I do sympathize as being stuck for 3 years does not sound enticing!

Since reviews are important, you could try offering a special promotion or discount to encourage guests to book despite the lack of reviews. 

I know when I first started and did not realize you could not self promote I got my hand slapped a few times.

Of course i will use the caveat that "it depends" but typically yes the $50k investor would get 50% of the promote of 70%, which in this case is 35%.

😀Yes you are correct the promote is the GP share of the profit. if you were to partner with this operator, you don’t get ALL the promote as it is split among everyone in the GP team.
