While still early in this fund I have been very pleased so far. The communication has been excellent. Leadership seems solid. I've like the quality of assets so far in the fund. Distributions have been consistent. It is a little early as fund has not gone full cycle but compared to 40-50 other deals I'm in Sentinel ranks towards the top of my sponsor list.

I have been investing with Bequest Fund for 46 months now. I am invested in four separate Funds at Bequest: Income, Equity, Legacy and CMJV2. I have realized consistent, high-yielding passive income of just shy of $290,000 through my investments with Bequest. I have received 46 straight months of earning distributions from the Income Fund like clockwork. In addition to providing stable, high yielding returns, Bequest sets itself apart with its excellent level of communication. I have been investing for decades now and no other firm that I have invested with comes close to communicating and keeping its investors informed the way that Bequest does. The Team at Bequest treats its investors like family, providing consistent passive income, excellent training and investment tools towards my goal of financial freedom. All your hard work at Bequest is greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work!!

We invested with Passiveinvesting.com in multiple assets starting in October of 2019 with the Carrington at Briar Creek. That asset went full cycle and we had a great 36% IRR return after only 2 years! We 1031 exchanged into the Ascend at Tamarron in December of 2021. Unfortunately that was terrible timing as the debt structure on that asset was not sustainable and after 3 years it's getting sold wiping out all the investor equity. I thought we were protected with rate caps, but in my naivety didn't realize they expire after 6 months. It was marketed as a low-leveraged private loan of 75% LTV. The same thing happened to the Hudson at Cane Bay in Summervile, SC that we invested in-total loss of capital. I had a few friends invest with them as well. I was told by one of them that the Monterosso in Orlando was being sold at a loss too. We are invested in several of their PIC car wash assets and a self storage fund. Those were marketed as having good cash flow, but we are not seeing it. The distributions on the self storage fund stopped in January 2023 and the car washes have been below what they marketed especially in the past year. Rob, their Director of Investor Relations has been responsive, but this has been a such a disappointing experience.

I came across Burns capital through friends working for Amazon. TJ, the founder of Burns who worked with Amazon previously, has transferred his analytical skill, inquisitive nature and proactive communication style seamlessly to investment. As a private equity investor, working in similar field, I am amazed by how a small firm followed the same rigor in assessing, structuring a deal and subsequently staying on top of all the operational updates. The return Burns capital generated is competitive in personal wealth investment realm. Moreover, the fact TJ is so thorough on due diligence and post investment exit timing selection , translates into lower risk for the same type of investment. I will thoroughly recommend Burns capital and plan to stay invested in longer term.

I've invested with Nomad Capital in several storage conversion projects and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Their team is professional, transparent, and extremely informative — providing detailed monthly updates that make you feel genuinely connected to the progress. One of the projects was paid out ahead of schedule, and even exceeded the promised return, which is remarkable considering how challenging the market has been over the past few years due to rising interest rates. Their performance, communication, and ability to deliver results speak volumes. I look forward to investing with them again.

Investing with Nomad Capital has been an exceptionally great experience for my family. Two items that stand out to me are their accessibility and their communication. Every single question gets answered swiftly by one of the experienced partners either by phone, email or in-person visit. The communication of the projects within your investments is timely, dependable and consistent. Within the regular communications are state of the business summaries, progress on project build-outs and financial performance once the business is up and running. The Nomad Team knows that an informed investor will make the best business partner. I have also found that the proposed project pro forma is well constructed, thorough and accurate,

Updated Review (1 out of 5 stars): The communication has stalled - no updates, no K1s, no financials. If or when responses come, they are much delayed (I wish the communication was as active and proactive as the new deal alerts or social media marketing posts). At this point I am hoping for a miracle. Original Review (3 out of 5 stars): I have not been pleased with the level of diligence and the sponsor's lack of familiarity with the financial details of the business and the underlying investment. The frequency of their marketing communications (presenting new deals) was steady when instead more frequent and substantive updates were needed on the failing investment itself (with specific financials, actions steps, key dates, etc.). Most of the communications, with a few exceptions, appeared to be forwarded emails from the operator or fellow managers and arrived with a delay. It turned out this sponsor had not been monitoring the financial performance and when the news of investment failure was delivered, it was not only a surprise but it was also too late to turn the ship. The one positive (which is important) is that at least the sponsor remained responsive to calls/texts/emails throughout the troubled period and before the investment exit. He is a very nice person. I will likely not be investing with that group again for the reasons stated above.

TJ & his team are excellent. Their communication is unparalleled & quick. It's very unique that you have direct access to TJ to talk through all the details (others typically have an annoying IR gatekeeper). They are willing to do a deep dive or just leave you alone and deliver strong returns - it's your call. The returns are consistent & as expected. Highly recommended.

Adam is a great fund manager. I am 1.5 years into my investment. My NAV/share price has gone up twice. They keep expanding and with the newer additions coming online to include storage facilities and other completions to current projects that generate monthly revenue...they are so strong. You will work with Mr. Doyle and Tanya. They are a great back-office intermediary. I have other investments out and I am close to reaching the next step up in asset class and hopefully I am able to do that once I hit exits on other investments in the future.

My investments with this individual have gone poorly. Looking back, there were clear red flags that I ignored. I asked direct questions and received answers that later proved to be inaccurate. Key details were omitted, including the fact that this person was not managing the deals directly but was simply funneling capital to another sponsor. After the capital was raised, he vanished. He stopped communicating and moved on to new ventures, leaving investors to deal with the fallout on their own. I eventually heard only from the underlying sponsor, right up to the point where I lost a significant amount of money. I've heard the same pattern from many other investors. Not every investment is going to succeed, but there is no excuse for failing to keep investors informed or for being misleading during the fundraising process. This individual is a talented salesman, but in my experience, his track record is unreliable and his behavior raises serious ethical concerns. I wouldn't recommend investing with them.

I’m Myma Osborne, and I wanted to share how positive my experience has been working with Hickory Creek and Kent Leach. Kent has been so very helpful throughout the entire process of investing with my solo 401(k) account. He took the time to answer all of my questions, and his guidance with the paperwork and account setup made everything much smoother than I expected. Kent’s knowledge, patience, and willingness to help made me feel confident and supported every step of the way. If you’re considering investing with Hickory Creek — especially if you’re using a solo 401(k) — I highly recommend working with Kent. He truly goes above and beyond to make the process clear and manageable. Thank you, Kent and Hickory Creek, for such a great experience!

I invested in three Blake Capital deals (at the time they were doing business as the Djuric Family Office): ** Canopy Creek Apartments, Jacksonville, Florida (Mar 2021-Dec 2021); ended quickly with a moderate return on investment ** Waterford Grove Apartments, Houston, Texas (Mar 2021-Dec 2023); failed resulting in a MIPA and total loss of all investor funds. Failure attributed to bad property management. ** Park North (aka Life at Spring Estates), Houston, Texas (May 2022-Dec 2024); failed with a foreclosure & total loss of all investor funds. Failure attributed to bad property management, bad contractors, bad debt service. Some of the roughest spots for me include: * Deceptive & unqualified deal placement - With Waterford Grove I was led to believe I would be investing directly in the deal, however according to the lead sponsor (which was not Blake Capital) I was not a direct investor in the deal. Instead, my investment went to Blake Capital and Blake Capital was the investor in the deal. Some on Bigger Pockets have called this a fund of funds investment structure, which was not disclosed up front, nor did I knowingly agree to. Park North was a 1031 exchange from the sale of Canopy Creek, and I was placed into a deal for accredited investors only, even though it was known that I did not meet accredited investor criteria. * Poor investor communications – despite being promised timely updates, most Investor reports were either not received unless I asked for them, or they were received 2-3 months late. At times I had to chase, even beg to get updates. As Blake Capital was not the lead operator on these deals, communications and reports were often delayed and second hand. With Waterford Grove, I became aware of the deal's failure and total loss of investor funds four months after the fact, and this information was communicated by the lead operator rather than Blake Capital. Timeliness and transparency in communication was very poor. * Poorly maintained Investor Portal - The investment portal was not consistently updated or actively managed. It required multiple follow-ups to ensure my investment amounts were accurately reflected, and the few dividends received were not recorded within the system. * Late tax statements - Every year I was forced to file a tax extension due to late K1 delivery, causing additional stress and uncertainty around my tax planning and potential penalties. ** Canopy Creek: the 2021 the K1 was received on September 14, 2022. ** Waterford: the 2021 K1 was received on September 14, 2022; the 2022 K1 was received on September 15, 2023; and the 2023 K1 was received on June 13, 2024. ** Park North: the 2023 K1 was received on October 10, 2024; the 2024 K1 has not yet been received. * Legal intimidation - In mid-2024, after several months of limited communication, unresolved questions & confusion, I initiated a discussion on Bigger Pockets to connect with other investors facing similar issues and to gather insights on how they were handling the lack of communication from Blake Capital. Shortly thereafter, I received a letter alleging online defamation and commercial disparagement, which threatened legal action should I not comply with a cease-and-desist request. The primary claim outlined in their letter is: “Four months ago, you started a thread on BiggerPockets.com entitled “Has anyone invested with Djuric Family Office aka Blake Capital Group.” A copy of the thread is attached as Exhibit A. In a post you authored three months ago, you identify yourself as an investor in certain deals associated with the Djuric Family Office “aka now the Blake Capital Group.” You go on to express your dissatisfaction with your involvement with the Djuric Family Office in a manner that suggests Blake Capital Group is the successor to the family office and is somehow the party responsible for the performance of your investments. Your statements are objectively false because Blake Capital Group and the Djuric Family Office are two entirely separate entities. To be abundantly clear, Blake Capital Group is not the successor to or the alternate name of the Djuric Family Office.” This statement is in contradiction to this notification sent by Blake Capital to investors on March 2, 2023. “Firstly, I’m reaching out to thank you for your participation as an investor. As you may know, the last few years have been very productive for the firm, and your trust and confidence in us has made that possible. Going forward, we will now operate under the “Blake Capital Group” banner. Blake Capital will assume responsibility for our current portfolio, and spearhead new acquisitions efforts. In addition to myself, we were recently joined by Henry Post (cc’d) who will serve as our Vice President of Capital Markets. He brings a tremendous amount of experience and has partnered with us on several transactions through his prior firm. We have a few new opportunities for which we are accepting investors. However, in light of the current economic climate, I think it would behoove us to jump on a call so that we can reconnect and get up to speed on your updated investment goals. We can be available at your convenience and are looking forward to catching up. Click here to book a call with me Best, Ian“ Since this notification all aspects of my investments have been managed under the banner of the “Blake Capital Group”, within the Blake Capital Group investment portal and by Blake Capital Group employees. * Hush money offer - In June 2025, I was approached by an Executive Assistant from Blake Capital Group, who stated that the company was prepared to offer $25,000 in exchange for the removal of my Bigger Pockets forum post and a commitment to refrain from making further negative statements regarding Blake Capital Group. I declined this offer. * Gas lighting - On July 02, 2025, I received an email stating “I have never been an investor with Blake Capital, nor have I had any business relationship with the firm” and not to contact anyone within the Blake Capital Group, except for Ian Djuric, who ironically is with the Blake Capital Group. My investor account in the Blake Capital Group has now been deleted & I no longer have access the investments in the portal. Overall, my experience with Blake Capital & Ian Djuric has been completely unprofessional and complete madness, costing me significant financial loss.

I've invested in 2 of their syndication deals. The first one did very well as they sold it in 2022 when values were near peak. The other has had paused distributions for some time now given they used floating rate debt. The operations/property performance are decent, but the increase in debt service cost they have not been able to overcome. They have raised money via a pref note (vs. a capital call) to cover the additional rate cap and loan pay down costs. I think/hope they will have the ability to navigate and in the long run and that they can hold on and or sell if/when market improves. I feel they have done an OK job of communicating the status to their investors

I invested in two different deals with Lurin. Both of them are past the pro-forma hold period, with no progress. They contacted me to inform me that one of the assets would be moved into NewCo, a new holding company, and would be transfered at "market value." As it turns out, there was 0% return for the past 3 years. Additionally, they asked for a capital call to refinance apparent poorly conceived debt service. This was supposed to be finished 4 months ago, and haven't heard any progress on that transition nor the progress of the asset itself. The other asset, along with ~$300 million worth of other assets, were suddenly forcelosed on after two capital calls that didn't produce enough capital to do a refinance. I most likely have lost my entire investment three years later. Why didn't they sell?!?! This is a HORRIBLE outcome, one that should not have happened, and only did due to extremely incompetent management decisions. We will be looking into a lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duty. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GROUP!

I invested $100,000 in a multi-family property deal they had. I received an email asking if I wanted to receive only 10% of my investment back, a 90% loss, or try to get more of my money back with the new buyer. I would not invest with them again, and if you are considering it, please consider what happened to investors like me.

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.

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.
