Hypothetically, you as a GP can put down say 10% of the equity required and raise the final 90% of the equity from call it 10 friends and family LPs.

I think they are cutting rates to stimulate the borrowing to fuel the economy further (keeping campaign promises--more jobs, more personal spendable income, etc...) vs. to keep it from sliding backwards.

Account Closed  the other issue here is Portlandia has all this high density no parking zoning along public transportation routes.. now a lot of it has been built since the crash.. but little will be built now and there ya go grand design to cram everyone into living with no cars is not going to work since developers are not going to build out these areas. its funny Porltandia lead the nation in getting things going when they gave the 10 year tax breaks in the Pearl and other areas of the city to stimulate growth and it did big time.now they are going backwardsMaybe Carls  container homes will be the answer  :)  container villages.

You get monthly income on your % along the way (depends on the structure...LPs could be getting preferred return) + a payout when the property is sold (if it's sold at a higher price than you bought it, obviously...)

My first question is What are you doing in Real Estate as they are talking see if anything they say stimulates a followup question.  

This's is how you search for mortgages, liens, LPS's, etc., search by name.

Just playing devils advocate to those who say the market is artificially stimulated and many real estate buyers are foreign investors and hedge funds looking for yield.

It's stimulating to know that you just need to work hard and there is no such thing as a tough market.

This is intellectually stimulating.

The government printed money at an exorbitant rate in an attempt to stimulate the country's economy.
