That is like a chef charging for access to his restaurant before you even eat the food.

For example, if you can define the data points that you want to capture (location, age, property type, etc.) and ask BP members to share that then you could aggregate it and create value by offering the aggregate data, via a subscription to other interested parties.

I found a Triplex and I''m wondering if i captured all the income and expenses to the tee or if I missed anything.

We sold the property to capture the appreciation.

That is like saying that should I buy a mcdonalds or learn to be a chef simply because they both deal with selling food.I am reasonably successful at buy and hold but have struggled to do flips with a similar level of success.

That motivation is the primary driver for good investment returns, not "mutual" or "fraternal" or any other nonsense.In an IUL the insurance company takes the money they earn investing in those identical assets, and they go to the index options markets with the simple goal of hedging to capture as much movement in the market as they can get with the money the have to spend.

Anywhere else in the northeast just doesn’t capture enough year-round traffic.
