Here are a couple of observations that I've made:Virtually no two trusts are identical.

But in this case, I feel obliged to do so in order to warn others before they put down $10,000 of their hard-earned money.I have been a "Preferred Investor Group"(PIG) member in San Antonio for a little bit over a year or so and have purchased 2 houses thru Lifestyles.I choose to post with a psedo identity as it is not pragmatic to criticize a organization after paying a hefty sum in advance (which effectively precludes you from using services from other organizations).I disagree with some of you who may claim that some of the below points are trivial.

Employee dishonesty would protect and owner against losses as a result of employee theft of client's monies.

Well, obviously there are laws against theft.

Now I have an identity crisis.

--------------I also found two identical 8-unit apartment complexes (they're right next to each other and for sale) going for $180,000 each.

Are they identical?

I was looking at a 4-plex near my home and saw that there were probably 20 identical buildings on the same street, all looked identical except for paint, etc.

A more precise way of explaining what I'm saying is that you should always invest cash in whatever investment you can find that yields the highest returns.Paying cash towards your mortgage is financially identical to investing in a zero-risk investment that has an annualized ROI equal to your mortgage rate.

Like another poster said, be careful if you are looking in the Ft Myers area.
