All of these are investors with a significant verifiable public track record of success (and some failures).

I helped clean up billions of dollars in failed bank assets and the large majority of bank failures were due to poor underwriting.

I realize that permit denial does occur frequently, and it could result in business failure.

After all, the post was about passive investment options and not all of the horrors and past failures of the stock market.. some folks just can't help themselves.

Those guys NEVER learn, because each failure is an assault on their oversized ego, not their business model, and they simply can't stand that.Yeah, there's stuff you still need to know.

Not just on the title company side but also you could complain about the attorneys failure to properly oversee this closing which as a closing officer they sign off on all closings. 

On each deal calculate your "Failure". 

Having issues with them responding back in time.. takes 3 days for basic updates to listings... morever what i weirdly noticed yesterday is that they have totally setup Airbnb for failure... placed 600 per night stay when VRBO and their own site has it at 300.. when i asked they said they cant update line level ( which is totally untrue as i do it as an owner for my jersey shore rental )  the business development manager also asked me to not share my listing on social media as it would be counter productive ( i have no idea how !!

No income tax, VERY low property taxes, landlord friendly, basically zero maintenance landscaping and house exterior/roofs, no weather issues, etc etc...Keep in mind you basically cant build a new home for less than 200 a foot all in  these days.. so existing is rising up to new home values.who was the local Vegas guy who was in the Casino scene that last year was predicting utter failure for the Vegas market have not seen him around lately. 

You'll be setting yourself up for failure.
