The investors we are working with typically are looking for exposure to the real estate asset class with none of the responsibilities of the sponsor. 

I know the cost of construction is a little excessive but if your property is already in the floodplain and FEMA changes their maps every 5-10 years, its likely within the course of your own the property will become more at risk for flooding - even if its just the 100-year flood.

Has anyone here had any exposure to him? 

Why limit your exposure?

RICH is great because they have a bunch of different things you can learn about there and get vast exposure.  

Discounts in excess of 20%, much more if inherited or the seller is facing time deadlines.No banks, no 'partners to check with', no messing around.

he laid traps and ive heard nothing about it sinceleak outside - it was where the sump pump dumed neighborhood is too noisy- sorry this is a row home neighborhood... people are close. call the cops if it gets excessive toilet is leaking- brand new toilet havnt looked into yet but Im calling BS

We likely have one that has returned in excess of 70% annual return. 

Could I just submit a loan request for say $190k and use the excess funds for repair costs?

I would not totally rule it out, but any investor should have some kind of self-imposed risk-management 'trading rules' in place -- meaning, you limit your exposure to those areas, and you don't invest too heavily there.
