Since they needed renovations, he invested roughly $30,000 per property to make them rent-ready—bringing his total investment to $110,000 per unit.Once rented, he quickly encountered issues: non-payment, eviction filings, constant repairs, and tenant-related damages.

What would stop him from just not coming back to finish once he gets the last payment from you?

Could it be a BAD investment strategy AND fraud in the disclosures, method of marketing securities and or providing misleading information?
