It looks like Equity Build pays 8 to 10% then to pay these early investors with new ones who then receive 12 to 14% and so one until they sell the property and pay everyone.All is well so far till the market tanks as it invariably does (it is cyclical in nature) and at that time they will probably just file for bankruptcy as they have done many years ago.Not your typical pyramid scheme because there are real products (the real estate apartment buildings they purchase in the bad neighborhood for pennies on the dollar usually in Illinois of all places!) 

Overpaying for assets and then losing money is how natural selection reduces the size of the pool of real estate investors at the top of the market cycle.  

You can assign a full retail purchase but you can't wholesale a retail property because by it's very nature, it's not a wholesale deal if it's priced at retail (or near retail) value.

I often ask myself, due to my introverted nature, how can I be successful?

Electric, Natural Gas and Telecommunications separate per unit paid by the tenant.

Not being from Massachusetts, I'd vote Google ;-) Honestly, look up "veteran small business programs", "veteran real estate loan programs", things of that nature and you'll probably find some good stuff.

For example, let’s say that a borrower has salary income of $1,800 per month, a Net Renal Loss (from the subject and other properties combined) of $100 per month, and existing non-mortgage liabilities of $750 per month.By taking the Net Rental Loss and reducing the income instead of increasing the liabilities, the DTI is more favorable.Structuring OwnershipWith a Conventional loan, the deed must be recorded in either the personal name of the borrower(s), or in an Inter Vivos REVOCABLE trust, assuming the following conditions are met: The trust must be established by one or more natural persons, solely or jointlyThe primary beneficiary of the trust must be the individual(s) establishing the trustThe trustee(s) must include either:o The individual establishing the trusto An institutional trustee that customarily performs trust functions and is authorized to act as trustee under the laws of the applicable stateThe trustee(s) must have the power to mortgage the security property for the purpose of securing a loan to the party (or parties) who are the borrower(s) under the mortgage or deed of trust notePlease note that FNMA does NOT allow you to close in an LLC or other type of business entity.

It only specifies how to use the fund from filing an insurance claim after there is any damage or natural disasters. 

My suspicion is that due to the unique nature of the recent crisis that the housing market will stay bullish longer than average.  

No way would I provide cable or internet to tenants, any more than I would provide water, electricity, or natural gas.
