Please do your due diligence before parroting things.

If it does not make sense don't bother.....

High volatile? Yes. Unpredictable? Arguable.

The logic is speculation on Blockchain Technology would will be one of the next large digital revolutions.

how many other currencies do you know of that a government will allow unregulated, untaxed, and and untraceable? The bigger it grows the larger the potential for someone to cry foul, and the hammer comes down. Along with a dozen other reasons it could end.

in the meantime, ride the wave ;)

While there are "Privacy Coins" like Monero, Bitcoin is not one of them.

I am not sure where you are located (location says US) but Bitcoin is regulated, taxed and (arguably) traced in many countries including the United States.

Hoping to hear if anyone has had experience with Smartlands as well. I love the professional feel of their website and one of the posters on here but looking for more insight.

Thanks.

Awesome review, thanks Brandon! I am currently looking into an out of state TK provider and this review was very insightful.

All the best.

I am currently entertaining both ideas as I am in a similar (albeit different) situation.

Thanks Roland for staring the thread. I will stay tuned.

This is an interesting niche. 

I will go ahead and read "Mobile Home Wealth" as a starting point. Any secondary suggestions?

Thanks!

I am interested in this as well.

I have 3 good friends whom all want to hop into a few Real Estate investments with me next year but I am the one doing all of the learning and will undoubtedly be the one to find, negotiate, close...etc.

Thanks for starting this thread Stewart!

Post: Can bitcoin be utilized in real estate?

You are coming to a Hazy Generalization  which (in my view) has turned into a clear Straw Man, thus ignoring my position. You have then pointed fingers at "all the other" turnkey companies with a Ad Hominem attack. 

Wow. It appears my due diligence conducted, which was reflected in my original post, was in fact an accurate analysis.

Wait it out and let's see who the winners of the crypto bust will be

Bitcoin or whoever else.

Just my opinion.

I completely disagree, if you look at the Dotcom Inflation Adjusted Market Cap (8 Trillion) compared to the Crypto Total Market Cap (160 Billion) it's clear to see that it is very early in the race. While things can escalate very quickly (and they do), institutional money has yet to enter the market. I see the market rapidly rising in market cap over the next 12-24 months in which then the average consumer purchases and holds these Crypto-Currencies, then we will potentially be in bubble territory.

It still looks expensive in my opinion and I wouldn't touch it.

If I don't make it in before the crowd, I like to stay away from the crowd lol

Thanks

ps. Did you get the answers you where looking for in the Ohio Cashflow thread?

I personally believe Bitcoin, while still under-valued in the long term, it is due for another pull back. This would go into a deeper discussion regarding an upcoming Technological and Political change that Bitcoin will be going through next month. There are things that are much more under-valued such as Ethereum, Monero and a few others. Those are still far from the average consumers hands, although Bitcoin is quickly approaching.

I reviewed one of the original threads about Ohio Cashflow but had to tune-out due to the constant banter back and fourth between you and (I believe) one of the early investors; it came across very unprofessional. I apologize if this is blunt. The posts were from a few years ago and maybe that was in the early development stages. It still was a bit off-putting.

You seem to be much more sophisticated then I am when it comes to the crypto currency world :)

As for the "banter" between one of our investors and myself.

You commented on our thread 6 days ago but you say the "banter" was a couple of years old.

Seems quite contradicting to me.

I'm super glad that Ohio Cashflow turns down 90% of business and most of that is due to folks like yourself.

My apologies if the above is blunt.

I wish you much success with your real estate and crypto endeavors

hahahaha I didn't mean to offend you Engelo. The post I was referring to can be seen below:

https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/185...

While my post was 6 days ago, that doesn't mean I didn't do my due diligence and review previous content! If you (or anyone else) reads through those posts I am sure we can all say it was more of a banter based discussion than a serious look into Ohio Cashflow LLC and what they can offer investors.

You are the front facing executive for your organization, be careful how you represent your brand and how you treat potential customers.

Furthermore, care to expand on why you are bunching me in with "the 90% that Ohio Cashflow turns down"? I look forward to your response.
