I know other family members who work a regular JOB.Their mindset is put money in savings in case of a medical illness or rainy day fund.Take 1 or 2 trips a year with vacation and that's all they aspire to be.They look at me and what I do and think "I am lucky" or "I have it good" that I have my own business.They think I sit at home in my office all day and do nothing.They do not realize I am putting in way more hours than they could imagine.I am sacrificing now so that down the road as I get older (36 now) I can take it more easy.Meanwhile many of these (savers) will be working as a greeter at Wal-mart at age 70 and complaining about social security not being enough.I am not going to be one of those statistics.A family member that is 68 has their house paid off,car paid off,and with social security still lives hand to mouth.I try to explain they need to grow that money to stay solvent but FEAR is what grips them from making a move.Whatever everyone believes we know we are born and in a certain amount of time we die.Where we go after that is up to each person to decide.So you do not have time to let FEAR keep you from making rational decisions and not living life.There is risk in everything.Successful people taker calculated risks and on average win more times than they lose.I guess I would be 4 and 5 since I have my own money but also buy property using owner financed deals.

Thanks Dion...Ill look into that!

The mentally ill must be cared for in a humane and good way, letting them choose to walk the streets e most inhumane thing we have ever done.3.

Thank you very much Uwe, Ill contact Mark and see who he suggests...Scott

My fear is too much press and hype will bring more ill-prepared investors into the arena and drive up prices.

Im still doing some research on it and ill ask the lawyer I work with if a closing can be done on a deal like this.

Steven, thank you for your reply. i have read that the state where the LLC is domiciled laws are what takes precedent over say california law in the case of a lawsuit. ill have to look that back up again but i believe that is correct. if you are correct it would make no sense for me to form my LLC in another state.

I guess ill have to sell it unless any one has any ideas.

Im thinking that ill be able to get some good advice and/or info on implementing an idea that ive had for quite some time....I live in an area of St Louis that really shows its 100+ years wear and tear.

Ill also ask for the information for the other bidder that wanted the property to live in and see if I can work out a lease option with her for this place if my end buyer wanted to sell down the line but this is more of a buy and rent type of property.
