Hi Ben, I'm way new to this and I'm not as far along as you are, but I wanted to say I can relate to feeling alternately encouraged and then like my dreams might be unattainable.

Encourages Larger Investments: By offering higher returns at higher tiers, you incentivize investors to allocate more capital to your projects.Builds Long-Term Relationships: Investors appreciate being rewarded for deeper commitments, which helps foster trust and repeat business.Scales with Your Business: This structure can align with the complexity or scale of your projects, ensuring that you have the resources you need while staying competitive in the market.Key Benefits to InvestorsSecurity: Deals can be secured by tangible assets, such as a deed of trust or promissory note, providing peace of mind.Flexibility: Payments can be structured to suit the investor’s needs—monthly, quarterly, or upon project completion.Attractive Returns: With returns starting at 15%, investors often see better yields than traditional investment vehicles, like stocks or mutual funds.How We’ve Implemented ThisThis structure works particularly well for our large renovation or development projects where multiple investors may be involved.

I agree that pricing a rental too high is a classic mistake than can make it sit, but don't you think encouraging landlords to rent quick will make them compromise on the vetting of the tenants?

I am not sure where you are located, but I'd encourage you to call around to PM's & you may find one willing to help you.

Most are being encouraged to buy Class B-minus rentals and below, but no one corrects them about their mistake of using Class A assumptions on these rentals:When a newbie gets smacked with reality via their losses, they then can only suck it up until time improves their mistake or dump at a loss.So, my question is, why can't we all do better and grow our industry with integrity?

Tribes might even provide additional incentives, like grants or infrastructure funding, to encourage investment.

I would encourage you to find local REI meet-ups in your area.

Yes to 15140 and thanks for the encouragement

Late payments, property damage, and evictions are avoidable when you have a PM who knows how to find reliable renters.I encourage you to seek out a property management company that emphasizes tenant screening and uses modern tools for verification.

At that time, my friend encouraged me to get into real estate with the idea of creating passive income and wealth in future (via appreciation).
