Thy are also promoted heavily by guru type attorneys that greatly oversell the benefits.

So if thy\ey bought the property 20 years ago for $100k and it’s worth $500k today when they give it to you.

Tenants who receive cash for keys often don't pay any income taxes on thi.

Thy have been around since 2007. 

Please file your complaint via the TCR form (make sure you get thi in writing and followup with a phone call) @ SEC.gov .The fact that they stopped dividend payments on so many properties at the exact same time/starting many/all of them back up at the 75 % lower dividend at the same time, means they are likely in contract breach for not treating each property as an individual investment/maybe be borrowing money from one project for another, all against the contract t/c's and possibly Ponzi scheme material. 

Quote from @Stuart Udis: @Don Konipol You raise good points but want to focus on your comment about selecting an approach "begins with analyzing exactly what assets the subject is trying to protect and what type of liability are thy trying to protect against".

Quote from @Tibor T.: Hi everyone,I’m brand new to real estate and to this forum.

If thy have a sister-in-law that is a "wanna be real estate agent", they will give her the benefit of the doubt to list regardless of what they tell you now.If you are using FHA or VA money to buy a property, they will require an inspection but they won't use yours.

ANYTIME I deviate from my process and make an exception for someone, thy never work out.The key takeaway is to ensure you have some way of vetting people and they have the right character and cognitive skills to succeed because you have a lot of people who are great at selling themselves.ENTJs and ENFJs are the most common personality type you'll encounter when you're recruiting employees.

Thy still gotta pay utilities.
