What impressed me wasn’t just the strategy—it was the full infrastructure behind it: • Pre-qualified leads • Construction and engineering partners • Real estate attorneys who specialize in creative deal structuring • Intimate, hands-on coaching from active investors It felt refreshingly different from the influencer-led programs charging $20K–$30K for group access and general advice.

.🚨 Red Flags to Investigate:Exploitative Positioning: Framing distressed elderly home sales as "leads" without proper consent from families or guardians.Certification Gimmicks: “Certified Investor” badge may hold no legal weight—used to justify upsell coaching and access fees.Upfront Buy-in Fees: Known to charge large access or onboarding fees to investors (often $10K+).Misuse of Influence: Repeated podcast tours and affiliate deals suggest a guru marketing cycle, not eldercare expertise. 

There are many sponsors groups - like this - that had large audiences & influence for $ capital raises but when it came to business plan execution have some combination of:  1) poor debt structures / very high leverage, 2) Unrealistic/aspirational Underwriting  3) ineffective property operations (typically 3rd party) 

Servicing your current database/sphere of influence is important.

People who influence my investing stratagies; 1st is Coach Carson (slow/mighty infevester and the harvesting phase), 2nd Ken McElroy (use leverage, but don't over leverage), and 3rd Real Estate Rookie (a ton of usful miscelanious info). 

The question passively investors should be asking is if the person running the syndication is a “real estate guy” who is using social media, writing, public presence, etc. as part of a marketing program or is the person running the syndication a “marketing guy” (“influencer”, social media expert, marketer, salesman, pitchman) who has found real estate marketing to be profitable?  

I had a mentor who basically taught me how to sell, persuade and influence in Creative real estate. 

However, as mentioned it is always a wise idea to speak with an CPA or other tax professional when making these types of decisions because individual circumstances and goals will influence what is going to serve best.As to being tagged as a real estate dealer, using either an S-corp or C-corp does prevent you from being tagged as a dealer personally, but does not prevent the corporation itself from being tagged as a dealer.

Also, the rate the fed is always adjusting isn't the mortgage rate only something that influences it.

That will heavily influence which strategy makes the most sense for accessing your existing equity.Generally speaking, rates will be most favorable for your primary residence, followed by your rented investment property, and typically the highest for a vacant investment property — since lenders often view vacant properties as higher risk.
