What’s your experience with Wagner Nolasco B2RDirect
Hello, My fiancé and I are about to wire down payment to invest for 3/2 SFR in Ocala, FL. It's a new construction building which will be finished building in Sep/Oct 2022. However, B2RDirect hasn't been provide any of pictures of real buildings yet. They only shared a master plan and pro foma with us. We were skeptical at first but then it is backed and recommended by senior counselor at NORADA company ( if anyone knows about Marco Santarelli). After I have read a bad review about this company on BiggerPockets forum, we are hesitant to move forward. We would like to hear from REI experts who have any experience with this company. Help, please~ We'd appreciate it. thanks.
Hi All,
it sounds like several of you are unhappy with the lack of progress by the builder (D32) of the Bennah Oaks project and to a smaller extent, the Nathi Townhomes. I am with a group of unhappy Nathi Townhome investors. We are strategizing to determine if nothing else, how to get our deposit back. I realize you may be meeting as a group yourselves, but there may be an advantage to join forces. If you'd like to join our next meeting, contact me and I'll make sure you get an invite to our next meeting.

We are starting a channel to discuss on what’s app if you want to be included with your phone number please send me a note and I’ll make sure you are. This is getting out of hand and many of us could stand to lose a lot of money here. I am at goldenmuseinc @ gmail.com.
Hi! all , im sorry im late to join you. Also with a Bennah Phase 1 home under contract and eroded confidence.
Trying to figure out best course of action with available options.
@Wendy Stclair I´ll contact you via email with my whatsapp number.
Greetings and stay focused and united.

I am late to join you all as well. At least now I know I am not alone! I found Nolasco through Norada. I went to his office, met him and his team, and left with a good impression. And I am also in Phase 1, making my deposit in October 2021. It's now May 2023 and nothing is vertical. The last update is was on 04/20 that they are almost ready to start pouring the pads. I get that there are delays and behind the scenes, dealing with late suppliers, the city authorities being difficult, but I thought for sure I would be further along than this.
Wendy, I sent you an email, would love to join the WhatsApp group.
I am having a similar challenge as well, I had paid the 20% for couple homes in Ocala in 2021 and it is now two years and the dates have just got extended multiple times. In fact finally Wagner put me directly with builders saying he is helpless and not getting updates. I finally had to follow up with the builders and they don't even respond. Honestly, I wish I never got into this.
The trust Wagner build in the calls and videos just broke down into pieces and now I have no clue on either of my properties or status. If this helps anyone i will be glad. I suggest you be extremely careful before you put something on a property that is a future builds.
Another delay. Any thoughts? Any one backing out on Bennah Oaks?
Did they provide another update? I'm assuming another update will be coming shortly, although I don't expect much progress.
Hi Craig, no new updates, they post them every month end. Write to Wagner for a meeting. I had one w him a couple of weeks ago. very slow so far but he confirms they will move forward asap. greetings!
This explains why the builder doesn't respond.
I am not part of either the Bennah Oaks or the Nathi construction. I got into this mess as I got an email from Wagner in September 9, 2021 when they send me an email regarding new construction at Ocala. The email said they will do 16 homes in the below configuration. If anyone else in this group is also in my same category and waiting for their home update kindly let me know so we can go together on this. I unfortunately blocked two plots and paid 20% for both and now it is almost 2 years and there is no response at all from Wagner or the builders :(
-------
The house will come with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, hood, refrigerator, and range.
3 Bedrooms2 Bathrooms2 Car garage 1323Sq/ft
The price of this property is $198,000.00 with a 20% due at contract and the remaining 80% could be paid via conventional financing or cash.

Quote from @Vinod Moorthy:Vinod, at that point in time I believe Wagner was still a sales agent for The Realty Doctors. On 09/24/2021 I received an email from Jean Gillen, stating that they were no longer working together. You may want to reach out to Jean for further clarification. If you message me your email address, I will forward you the email.

Vinod,
I'm assuming you're referring to the properties in Ocklawaha. I'm in exactly the same boat as you. It'll be good for both of us to connect. If anyone else has invested in Ocklawaha properties via Wagner please reach out.
I’m really sorry you all are dealing with this. I have had some interaction with this group. Wagner used to work with an agent called Jean Gillen and I contacted them about some turnkey properties they were advertising. after some exchange of pleasantries I shared with her that I bought in Ocala in 2017 via another turnkey group and she went on to kinda talk very negatively about how poorly built these homes are. I didn’t get a good vibe from that group and didn’t proceed. Just for the record I bought my property in Ocala in 2017 for about $145k (3/2) and it had survived 2 hurricanes, appreciated $100k+ and has rented very well so she wasn’t remotely close to being correct. fast forward a year or two later and I got an email that Wagner had split from Jean and “borrowed” all her contacts and they are no longer associated with anything he markets. within days Wagner comes up with this Brennah oaks development and markets aggressively and even wrote a book.
another few months I get a note from real wealth (Kathy Fetke’s group) through which I met my turnkey providers and they said they have cut ties with Jean Gillen and anyone associated with that group.
so for my risk appetite I didn’t and wouldn’t do business with them and I live an hour from ocala.
