My dealer, Ed Fernandez from 1031 Crowdfunding told me Crew is working through some leadership issues and the goal is to resume distributions at some point but no timeline as of now.

That progression from broker to fund manager reflects not just career growth, but a mindset shift toward leadership and legacy.

Where an IMB or boutique lender has a risk management team who are heavily credentialed and experienced and are very involved in the leadership/boards of the industry associations (like the MBA), small credit unions/banks typically have "Donna" leading the mortgage department, which consists of two underwriters, an assistant, and a bunch of tellers-turned-loan officers.

The guy who goes on an unprovoked diatribe about the democratic leadership in California's response to wild fires responding to a post about LLC tax laws thinks politics shouldn't invade every aspect of our lives. 

So first step is connect with your leadership, get up-chain and have that conversation. 

I don't want to give the impression that I was lazy, I was active in my BNI chapter and even held a leadership role.

I have spoken to the leadership at Flip System and they are diligently working with me to resolve my issue.

No effort was made on leadership part.

That’s where things get sloppy, and risky.What I’ve seen work well is when agents partner with established, compliant companies that already have the infrastructure, leadership, and legal oversight in place.

With a background as a seasoned security professional spanning 25+ years in leadership and operations, I also have experience as a former owner and operator of a martial arts school.
