@Marcus Auerbach I guess the only thing we can do is affect are things in our sphere of control.

Hi Rick, you want to talk to doctors and dentists and business people in your sphere of influence ( friends, family, church, soccer team) that want to invest to make 6% to 7% safely on their money.

Start from your place, your sphere of influence, family, friends, neighbors, and look out for 'that' which no one else is doing or everyone else is failing to service.

Your "Sphere" likes you and thinks you are a good person but they all also know you are green.

I'm sure there are some strategies out there, but it's not my sphere of expertise.Regarding Dave's note about straight line recapture, he's right that any gain equal to depreciation in excess of what would be allowable under the straight-line depreciation method would be taxed as ordinary income.

I'm sure we'll see eachother around town in one sphere or another.

For private money, you'll want to start canvasing your sphere of influence (family, friends, family friends) and trying to find high worth people that you already have a relationship with.

Focus on you sphere of influence first.
