In my opinion, your GC might think this is good idea now but when he realises you are not selling any of your properties and his work starts being more more as you buy more properties he probably won't like it as much because altough he is gaining equity he is getting no cash flow.

He realised he could goof off for periods with no one watching him and it became progressively worse.

Assisting an active duty service member to HouseHack using a VA Loan, I realised our offer became substantially stronger overnight. 

He has investing his lifesavings along with 2 other partners but since it is IP and he is not a businessman, he has done a poor job converting its potential into realised returns.

I'm one who needs to understand (or at lease to be convinced I understand) a subject before jumping in, which is why my progress towards note investing is taking considerable time.I did not realise you were producing a tomb on the subject, I look forward to it with interest ... and patience :-)I am working with a mortgage broker here w/r to writing private mortgages - he's brought me one of the three I have written and several other candidates.  

Though I'm tempted to kind of stare at the phone in anticipation, I realise that just creates more anxiety so I'm just focusing on getting more marketing organised.

That will be surely helpful to those in here who deal in bigger commercial purchases, thank you.Michael, I didn't realise any investors approached buying without both of those essentials. 

Banner ads may be ok for breeding brand trust - especially among less techy demographics, who don't realise that you can buy online advertising quite cheaply, but I don't think you'll see anywhere near the print response rate for high value stuff online.You can still get good results online, but it needs a different approach - I've found networking and building up relationships with prospective clients on a personal level to be the most cost effective way to do things - it takes a lot of time, but you get a higher quality of client from it, so I think it pays off.

Welcome @David DamYou do realised you moved to probably the only City on the continent where real estate prices are greater than in NYC ;-)Are you planning to invest locally, or {perhaps} back in the U.S.A.?

Trusts are usually not something you would consider starting out and where your in-laws are sitting on a large capital gain, they likely cannot transfer it into a trust without realising a gain - hopefully I am wrong and your team (accountant and solicitor) will know a way it could be done.
