Which is patently absurd*)My thought?

There are 2 types of disclosures patent and latent Patent disclosures are one that are obvious to anyone who view the property These type are usually disclosed on the mls listing.Fire damage,mold infested,chinese drywall,illegal conversion,etcThe latter type of disclosures are disclosed,if you have or had  knowledge of  during the due diligence period after an offer has been accepted .As a buyer you also make your own discoveries after an offer is accepted and then use both latent discoveries in your negotiations 

Also on the rafters.Another thing I've done when fooling around in the attic is to take up a couple of planks and lay them across the roof joists, to avoid the patented "stepping through the ceiling" problem. 

Ask your patents to explain to why they think it's a bad idea.

Although I suggest that, if you are naming your company something creative and not just 'Your Name, LLC' run a search via the United States Patent and Trademark Office (www.uspto.gov) to make sure the name isn't registered to a business with the same or similar business model or industry/market as yours.

Hi BP - Around February 2020, I plan to drop down to part time in my current profession (patent litigation), move back to the east coast from CA, work remotely, and begin BRRRing with $150,000 of my own money.  

This is similar to licencing a trademark or a patent in a territory to a corporation, in terms of business law.

People never cease to pound the "it must cash flow or it is a bad investment" drum though when this is patently ludicrous.

A couple of comments...Patent...

That's patently absurd, since the company value is only $500K, and those equity partners have created 100% of the value.
