The benefits are: 1) Less risky investment for investors because they can see the numbers performing in real time.  2) More confidence for me in not losing someone else's money (i.e. test it with my own first)  3)  I as the investor get my money back and can move on to the next deal.Is this logical, has anyone done this before?
