I moved to Florida in 2017 and have been involved in 45+ flips and currently manage over 36 units throughout Tampa Bay.

Ps I'm all about giving back, so I would be interested in helping out some high school kids for sure, or getting involved with mentoring somehow.

Its certainly not "guaranteed return" - thats a word to always stay away from in real estate (in finance or even investing in general)high level - its because HMLs are going to be secured by the real estate, meaning in event of default, the lender can get the property to be made whole - somewhat trust is involved, but thats the main mechanism behind it

While I am not involved - i have read the accusations and whether or not if they are true, that would scare me enough to stay far far away from anything they are associated with. 

This is the onboarding process.The next issue we came across was "How involved do we want to be with the day-to-day operations?" 

Make sure they are just a investor so there are no ulterior motives involved.

I've had success simply informing the tenant that I plan to involve a collections agency as a next step if they don't pay what they owe.

I got so involved with real estate that I decided to get my Real Estate license in March 2020.

With over an estimated $300 billion of extremely delinquent debt yet to be liquidated to the secondary market, there is a a lot of opportunity to reposition these loans, keep folks in their homes and make a very nice profit for all involved. 

The process is pretty simple, but it does involve extra steps compared to a traditional rental.
