As I've played around w/creating a business website, I found myself wanting to publish two sites: one for motivated sellers, and one for potential investors (private money folks).I wonder how you all tackle this idea, that there are multiple facets to our business, and the message we have for one group is not appropriate for the others.

I do hope every portal publishes results as deals mature....With respect to the actual calculations, when I dug deeper into the numbers I got a better understanding of why the wide deviation in Target Returns from deal-to-deal and why those Target Returns seem too high for my comfort level (if it is too good to be true....).

The good news is the publisher has a store on Alabama where you can check it out.http://keymaps.com/index.cfm?

Also, I am just about ready to publish another one that goes a bit further - I'll be happy to send you the Word doc if you e-mail me.Feel free to reach out and good luck!
