They need some blog posts to get them started, and I want to write a "Tips from the Experts" piece where investors more familiar with the concept give advice on some of the advantages / pitfalls of the model. 

Reach out to everyone and take a small piece from each investor and develop it into yournown identity and you will be a great investor.

Thanks for sharing this article.The author has cherry picked the pieces that negatively supports his line of reasoning.Additionally, there is no guarantee that everyone who invested in stocks would see a positive return as quoted.So, it depends on the drive, plan, creativity and mindset of the individual.It's a known fact that most of the millionaires made/secured their wealth through RE and not the stock market.Looking back at the author's path to home ownership, he could have re-calibrated his steps and do creative REI investing to make himself whole.The author's story sounds like a good one to tell, generate laughter and lively conversations, but, I am not convinced with his line of reasoning about home ownership.

There is a limited market for a piece of a property because few cash buyers want to tie their capital up in such a property.A homeowner  (buyer/user) has so many other choices and would be legally required to "share" possession with a stranger.

also is it feasible to have a management company manage just one piece of property as i try and grow a portfolio?

I use 65lb yellow paper which I cut into 6 postcards per piece.

We appreciate every piece of advice and support anyone can offer as we start down this long but hopefully successful road to financial independence.

Tile comes out and a surround 3-piece goes in along with toilet and vanity and sink and likely new tub.
