I have not listened to 257 although I suspect from your comments much of what is talked about is a little tougher to do in practice.. and works if your a bigger player like the guy probably making the presentation.. for one off or starter investors pretty hard to really build a team like what your talking about.. not enough money involved to garner the loyalty and checks and balances your talking about.I actucally wrote an e book for foreign investors on how not to get screwed in US rental properties..
