If you were hurt financially by this company you could sue, put a restraining order on sale of property etc.

@Adam OrtizRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Because it's my money, I care more (I get 92% of the revenue, PM only 8%, and PM team member near 0%), I only had my units to manage (PM team member has other owners and units), and, with humility, I am smarter and harder working than the team members assigned to my portfolio (3rd party PM has to hire at a level that makes the business model financially work for them). 

My end goal is to have financial freedom in 10 years or less by bringing in $10k/month.

They appear to be financial planners.

I'm totally confident in my new financial famiy...

How often will you see financials?

I knew I needed a path to financial freedom, but I didn’t have any connections in the industry.

So REI in California only makes sense if you've been there since the 70s or 80s OR if you're financially well off and can afford a few million dollar properties.
