I'm in one multifamily deal that has been underperforming. While not ideal, the team has been proactive in addressing the issues and communicates regularly about their progress. Monthly and quarterly investor reporting is solid, and Sean, their Director of Asset Management, has been very responsive to any questions. Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic about the direction of this deal, given Wildhorn's transparency and communication.

Invested in the debt fund which was a lower entry point that directly with DLP. Solid communication with consistent distributions. Pascal is easy to work with and communication is great. Will be investing more soon.

We have found Passiveinvesting.com easy to work with. Communications have consistent and clear from the very beginning. The owners are heavily invested themselves in any investment they make available to the public and are accessible to answer any questions that may arise about our investment. We know the market is challenging for multi-family investments and are confident that Passiveinvesting.com will take the necessary actions to either maximize our results or minimizing any losses.

I concur with the previous review of McKenna Capital ! ! ! They are really good at marketing OTHER GP's deals to collect their "promotion/marketing" fees but they are nothing short of a PATHETIC sponsor! I personally invested six figures into one of their "co-sponsored" deals and the deal has been abysmal! Distributions stopped shortly after acquisition of the property supposedly due to rising interest rates and now occupancy is struggling due to oversupply in the market with new inventory coming online that their WEAK underwriting should have seen in the first place coming down the line. However, I am not sure that McKenna can be blamed as much as the underlying sponsor can be blamed "RISE48" - however McKenna continues to promote and collect lots and lots of marketing fees from RISE48 and others promoting as many GP deals as possible with ZERO due diligence and thus ZERO accountability when things go wrong. All they care about is collecting their promote fee and this is an undisputed FACT! I know personally that Many Many Many of the investments that they promoted and collected hefty fees for "partnering" with others like RISE48 are now so far underwater that they is very little chance of any of us recouping any of our principle back let alone phantom accrued interest after paying back the senior mortgage on the properties! I could go on and on about McKenna but I think you get the point here...do NOT invest anymore of your hard earned capital with them!

Chris Salerno and his money raisers started out very strong with all of the bells and whistles. In two short years they lost all investor capital on a project in San Antonio blaming poor property managers and a bad economy in Texas. Salerno was very rude to investors and when questioned, even by attorneys, was told, "investing in risky and you took that risk." I advise to steer clear of anything he, Joe Fairless and Ian Djuric are a part of.

My investments in two ODC funds, marketed as "cash-growth" and "day one cash flow," have been disappointing. Distributions on both funds have been paused for multiple years, directly contradicting their initial stated goals. Although ODC's communication is acceptable, their consistent underperformance relative to even their most conservative projections is a significant concern.

I would not recommend investing with McKenna Capital. They heavily promoted a ponzi scheme investment that has since vaporized. They've offered no real assistance to investors, merely forwarding emails from another operator. All they are is a messenger, refusing to take ownership of their failed due diligence or the promotion of a disastrous deal. Their service is underwhelming and severely lacks accountability. Proceed with extreme caution.

I have been with PPR in the Reliant Income Fund for over a year. Zero Issues. The monthly/quarterly updates are perfect. They stand behind what they state, there have been zero distributions missed. Great company to work with and Stefani is great to work with from the customer relations side!

I'm an investor in one of the car wash funds. The projections going in were quickly adjusted down after close, communication was adjusted from monthly to quarterly, and distributions were changed from monthly, to quarterly, to then none at all. They've done a pretty good job with the detail of the reporting, but it's hard to understand how the deal started underperforming so quickly. If there was an exit, I would take it, but I think I'm locked in for the duration of the hold, at least another 5 years.

“ I want to build a business that I as an LP would invest in”. TJ said this. He is doing exactly that. Diligent, communicative and smart. As long as I’m liquid I will invest in his deals.

Initially, had good results investing with them in a multifamily deal (Carrington at Brier Creek in North Carolina). Then, we elected to roll over our equity through a 1031 exchange through a TIC with another group to purchase class A multifamily in Katy, TX in late 2020. Despite decent operational performance, the capital stack that they put together has blown up due to the use of short-term, floating rate debt with interest caps. Looking back, with the benefit of hindsight, it was all very predictable, but everyone was drunk on cheap money during the pandemic. Now in 2025, they tried a capital call with very unfavorable terms for non-participants, essentially moving non-participants to the back of the line and promoting old-money contributions for participants ahead of other LP's in the same share class. We did not participate for a number of reasons. I did not appreciate the strong-arming they tried to pull with the capital call, but also didn't want to throw good money after bad. We've lost a lot of capital in deals like this and need to preserve what we have left. They are doing a forced sale now and we are told that we will not receive any of our capital back. Earlier communications indicated that if the asset were sold today, there was 18% left. Going to zero was not in line with expectations. Groups like these are a dime a dozen. I don't see how they add value. They're merely asset gatherers who rode the wave in multifamily appreciation, collecting fees and promotes along the way. Their judgement on macroeconomics and risk is no better than mine. I should have listened to doubts I had about valuations, but I trusted their judgement. One of the founders said and I quote (paraphrasing): "I love low cap rates because they give us more leverage" (due to the multiplier affect on NOI). Well, how has that worked out? It turns out paying peak valuations for RE and layering on short-term debt is risky. The way the call and the forced sale calls into question their integrity. I would not trust them with my hard-earned capital again, even if I could forgive them for their poor judgement and lack of respect for risk.

Before I discovered Hickory Creek Capital Partners, I felt fairly alone in the LP investor journey. I was looking at a decent amount of deals but didn’t have an extra set of eyes to help discern the operators, the asset class, and specific opportunity. It can be quite overwhelming to navigate the syndication world by yourself so I am very grateful for Hickory Creek as they provide an extra layer of due diligence and expertise. In addition, due to their network and connections, they were able to provide access to a unique tech private equity deal that I would never have had access to otherwise. Investing truly is “better together” and the fund of fund model really does offer that benefit in a powerful way. I look forward to the future opportunities that will arise with Hickory Creek Capital Partners!

Investing with Burns Capital Partners has been a really positive experience. TJ is incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and always takes the time to answer questions—no matter how big or small. All documentation is provided in a timely and clear manner, and the transparency throughout the process gives me real confidence as an investor. I invested in an income fund that is performing as expected—no small feat given the macroeconomic uncertainty this year. It’s clear the fund was carefully selected, and I look forward to investing with Burns Capital Partners again in the future.

Terrible inexperienced sponsor that had some luck flipping properties post Covid BOOM and expected rates to remain near ZERO so acquired lots and lots of multi family apartment buildings in the greater Phoenix area at the top of the market 2022'ish and cheapened out by securing "very short term floating senior debt" and now that market values have come back down to reality and interest rates have shot up EVERY SINGLE ONE of their deals is dramatically underwater far below their senior debt thus wiping out ALL of their investors capital. Distributions stopped a very short time after closing and I see no way for them to recover before bank forecloses since debt service is far greater than current income!!! Terrible awful underwriting from Zach Haptonstall their CEO due to his inexperience is down market cycles! Total wipeout of capital is expected, however they keep on taking in additional capital to keep property afloat before REO so that they can collect their management fees!

Just do yourself the favor and Google search 'Techvester reddit', and read the many many MANY posts and comments about how Sief Khafagi (CEO of Techvestor) has already lost millions of investor capital with his previous bankrupt company ScoutPads, and eventually received regulatory penalties from the SEC for his actions. Then you can go further and read how Techvestor's 1st Fund (TVR I) has already paused investor distributions after only 2 years in operation. I invested in their 2nd fund (TVR II) after receiving a presentation projecting 10% annualized yield. Little did I realize that all the numbers they were presenting were before overhead expenses and management fees, which they conveniently never mentioned until I later asked more pointed questions. Little did I know #2 that the fund was so poorly performing and behind on preferred return payments, that as a new investor I would be receiving a tiny share of ongoing profits because more senior investors needed bigger shares to catch up on their pref returns. In the end, I have received quarterly distributions equivalent to less than 1% APR. Every quarterly distribution has been less than the last, and I won't be surprised if they pause distributions for TVR II soon too. All through the process, I slowly noticed a disturbing trend where they responded to my questions with non-answers, or answers to questions I didn't ask, or answers that steered my questions away from sensitive information. They market themselves as TRANSPARENT in their operations, but when I asked straight out for performance data from previous quarters, they responded that they can't show any historical data to me because 'they have tons of copy cats who would love to reverse engineer their business'. All of their words present themselves as professional, but all of their behaviors feel like they are ducking, dodging, and just trying to keep disgruntled investors at bay.

I started investing with NNG Capital Fund in November 2021, using a mix of IRA funds and personal cash. I’ve been really happy with the communication. The team sends out monthly updates that are detailed and easy to follow. The investment process was seamless, with responsive support staff and a smooth experience through the fund administrator. The online portal is also user-friendly, with access to monthly statements, tax documents, and a current dashboard showing my investment. Whenever I’ve had questions, Fuquan Bilal, the fund manager, has been available for direct phone or Zoom calls. He’s easy to talk to, respectful, and knowledgeable. Fuquan genuinely seems to care about doing what’s best for the fund and its investors. He’s been open and transparent about what’s going on behind the scenes, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. If you’re thinking about investing, I’d say it’s worth a serious look. I’ve had a good experience so far and would definitely consider increasing my allocation when I’m able.

One of the worst passive investments I have ever made! I invested (almost $200,000) with these guys back in 2015 and I have yet to exit any of the investments due to "worse than expected property performance compared to the pro-forma". Distributions all stopped within a year and very little has been done to exit any of these holdings since they wont get paid their mgmt fees anymore if they sell the properties. So my money is DEAD and earning me nothing until such time that they decide to exit these investments (it has been a decade already!!!)

I’ve had a positive experience with Quad Property Group. The GP is very responsive to any questions and solid investor reporting. I really appreciated that they invited me to a property walkthrough, showing their commitment to transparency. In a tough market, they stepped up and put their own money into a deal when needed, which instilled a lot of investor confidence. One of their deals went full cycle with an excellent return, and I’m currently invested in two active deals with them.

I’m most impressed with Bolt's monthly and quarterly reporting and investor relations. The monthly reporting format is clear and comprehensive, providing all the information you need without feeling overwhelmed. I’m currently invested in three properties with Bolt—two of which are performing well, and one was underperforming. What stands out most is that Bolt stepped up and chose not to take an asset management fee for the underperforming property, instead worked tirelessly in turning it around. I'll continue to invest with Bolt.

Unfortunately, my experience as an investor in Alpha GP Fund I has been disappointing. The performance has been underwhelming, and it’s been frustrating that the quarterly reports are consistently late, creating a lag in understanding the current status of the Fund. I hope the situation improves, but so far, this investment experience has fallen well short of expectations.

I see a lot of potential in Scholastic Capital’s strategy of acquiring single-family homes (SFHs) in elite school districts. Sean is passionate about the Fund and has a strong commitment to delivering steady cash flow to investors. What truly sets Sean apart is his approach to investors—not only does he value our capital, but he genuinely wants to get to know who is investing in the Fund. He is highly data-oriented, always providing insightful metrics and analysis to back up his decisions. The Fund is so far performing well and I look forward to seeing the Fund scale-up.

I’m invested in Fund I and Fund II with Arx Capital, and I’m happy with their performance. From the first time I toured their Fund I properties, I was impressed by the honesty, confidence, and clarity of the team. Nathan, Levi, and the rest of the Arx Capital team are consistently accessible, transparent, and genuine, making the investment process pleasant. The quarterly reports are incredibly thorough and I rarely have follow-up questions because of the level of detail provided. This has given me a strong sense of confidence in their strategy and approach. I look forward to continuing to invest with Arx Capital.

When I was introduced to Wellings Capital in 2022, my alternative investments included notes, syndicated multifamily offerings, and debt funds. I wanted to diversify into other asset classes such as manufactured housing communities, self-storage, light industrial, and open-air retail centers. Wellings Capital offered this diversification. I continue to be very impressed with their leadership and team. They have a documented, detailed due diligence process and share the results with investors. Wellings Capital is the standard by which I measure other investment companies.

I was introduced to Wellings a couple of years ago. I have added several times to my original investment and have just made a commitment to a fourth opportunity with them. Each opportunity is unique, and Wellings simply does an excellent job explaining the opportunity and answering all questions the investor may have. Their follow up and interim reports are always informative, on time, and leave one with the comfort needed that your money is being managed well with the necessary oversight. I readily recommend to all my family and friends that might have interest.

I am a few years into my alternative investing journey with a big focus on education, relationships, and understanding my own investor DNA. Even though I once worked for an O&G exploration company in accounting, I never imagined I could personally have a working interest in any O&G project. After two years of research and networking, I am grateful I invested with Pete and the team at Petrovybe for the following reasons. -Protect and scale business model that reduces downside risk and promotes strong upside potential -commitment to stewardship/transparency that includes 3rd party audited financials + quarterly business reviews with all investors/partners. -Alignment between GP and LP -Deep industry knowledge that’s positioning itself to help fuel the AI boom via Natural gas -Partnership : while investment opportunities abound in this asset class, I really desired to partner with an operator who would encourage my participation to add value. I truly feel a part of the team, not just a faceless investor. -Humility and Agility: I have found their humility and ability to pivot so refreshing amid an industry that is often known for arrogance and blame shifting. They don’t make excuses when things don’t go as planned and have already had to pivot as surprises and new opportunities arose. In summary, this operator is definitely worth considering for your next O&G investment.

I'm invested in several projects with AcreTrader for about 3 years. Each project is in its own LLC. None of the projects I'm invested in have gone full cycle (from investment to repayment), however the annual dividends are in line with what was estimated prior to the investment. 2 or 3 times a year, an update of each individual project is provided to the investor giving an overview of how the project is proceeding. I would rate this investment as one of the most boring investments... which is a good thing. It's a simple investment into farmland with an annual payment. I would invest with them again.

We’ve now invested in three deals with Open Door Capital and couldn’t be happier. The team is exceptional, the deals are solid, and their communication is clear and consistent. Before investing, we spoke with several references and consistently heard glowing feedback about how ODC operates. They’ve proven to be trustworthy and highly transparent. Overall, it’s been a great experience, and we’ve truly enjoyed partnering with ODC.
