The tea-partiers sure talk a good game but when Rep.

I spend all my time in commercial and my ability to assess a residential property is about the same as my ability to assess the tea leave market in Tokyo...I could make some general assumptions based on investing principles but assumptions are all they are.

That is not a requirement in my experience, and it sounds as though the Realtor was either inexperienced with the process or just not telling you the truth.

There is also Jonny Cartier from London in BP, how about three if us catching up in London over a cup of tea or coffee?

So the investor makes an allocation (e.g. using a FundRise pooled investment) for a part of a 44 unit apartment building, as opposed to buying common stock in a REIT like Highwoods Properties (NYSE: HIW) or funding a reasonably inexperienced local flipper on a 80% LTV deal with thin margin.

For example, if they are a first time couple, inexperienced in military moves, this could be easily explainable (as opposed to someone who's been married for a while).

Otherwise, I am gonna put the money into stocks, because I feel like the process of a fix and flip isn't my cup of tea.

Not for the faint of heart or inexperienced Investor, that's for sure.

I thought I was new to the industry, but now I see these people on BP that are very successful in much less time than I've been active in real estate, so I guess I'm not new, just inexperienced. 

Little confused.The seller is totally inexperienced, I suggested her to have an attorney at the closing.I also strongly suggested to her that she get the contract reviewed.
