Until then, I'll be trying to absorb everything I can to fine tune my approach and prepare for managing REI business post-acquisition.

He’s not a pushy salesman, and I’ve got a business partner who has worked with him for the last 10 years without any issues.As for your situation, I wouldn’t say it sounds like a Ponzi scheme, but I’d strongly recommend meeting with the fund sponsor in person and asking as many questions as you can.

At one time I had over 2000btc, sold a great deal when while was under $100/btc to start my rental business.

There are a handful of active agents here on BP in the Portland area (including my business partner and I) who would be good places to start.

and they're difficult to do, because you're up against businesses that do nothing but flip and BRRRR, and here you come along wanting to do 1 home run right out of the gate. 

Regarding finding discounted deals......That is the reason why I started a wholesaling business.

Lau, generally if you are financing with a commercial lender- we lend for business purpose only and a rental property would fall under that category.

Spend more than half of your total working hours in an RE business in which you materially participate.2.

You cannot maintain a business with negative cashflow.
