They can sharpen skills you already have, or expose you to things you've never even thought of.

Hey mate,Sorry to hear about your troubles.I've been offering "true" turnkey properties for 10+ years now and have many scars to prove it.There has been and still is a huge stigma surrounding the industry and rightly so.The very best rated in the industry sometimes get blasted on the forum.Like with any business that has stood the test of time, we have had our fair share of successes and failures.We have done very well for many investors and could have performed better for others.Many times, we are to blame and other times it was the investors fault IMO.One thing I have always claimed is that we don't steal, cheat or lie and my team and myself work very hard and always make decisions with investors best interest at heart.Personally, I believe that folks that work hard and do their best shouldn't be crucified for an honest mistake when it happens.But, I guess others aren't as reasonable when it comes to such situations and I don't judge them for it.I take the punch on the chin and still continue doing my best.Over the years, I have made millions and lost millions but only blame myself when I loose.Not others.Also, I've always preached to start slow and only use cash which has cost my business 90% in sales volume.I just don't believe that investors should use leverage when first starting to build their portfolio.Reverse engineer and base all real estate, business and even life decisions from a risk analysis worst case scenario standpoint.If you believe that you can absorb a worst case scenario outcome, then pursue the opportunity.Build a strong foundation with cash owned properties and gain experience first."

To make matters worse, they not only kept my money but also revoked my access to the course, leaving me empty-handed and cheated.It’s disheartening to witness a company that boasts such high costs fail to exhibit even a shred of empathy.

It's that lightbulb moment where you realize that even after paying the surcharge to pay a mortgage with a card, you still earn positive cashback, making your net interest rate on your mortgage effectively a negative percentage.  8% cashback - 3.5% pay by card surcharge = 4.5% free money, and considering my mortgage interest rate is 2.75, that effectively means I pay no mortgage interest and still earn 1.75% free cashback.And the best part is that this passive cashback is generally speaking not treated as taxable income.

I went after ags/minerals/oil/timber(even before covid) first then focused on SFH once I saw syndications suck in mid 2022. 

I can’t even see that I’ve sent the message.

I would not even call Evolve a PM, but as you alluded to in the final paragraph a marketer.For 7 of our 8 years in business we were full service only, we are now doing limited service to appeal to people disillusioned with Evolve.

By even a majority can result in minority partial holder instituting legal action, including restraining orders, etc.

@Mary MunozIn Brandon and Heather Turner's book, The Book on Managing Rental Properties, they suggest giving applications to everyone who comes to look at the unit, even if you know they would never be able to qualify under your standards. 

I was unable to find insurance that would even bind a policy with these fuses so it was a must fix issue.
