We've actually seen traders that blow up deals and the only explanation is that if they get rid of all their assets, they're causing their jobs to disappear.

I was told by a lender that if I wanted to put 10 under my name and 10 under my wife's name, we would have to sign a Free Trader Agreement - in basic terms, a document prepared for the purposes of waiving each party’s rights as to real estate and creating a right to obtain real estate independent of the other.

Not all painters and carpet installers are stoners--just an observation that over my 12 year career of doing this, I have found these 2 traders to rank 1 and 2 though. 

I started a Partnership with some friends and relatives who mainly are Stock Market Investors.The purpose of the Partnership, in this case an LLC, was to purchase a $1.5 Million 3 Family in Brooklyn, All Cash.3 months ago I told everyone to pull out their cash in the Stock Market.They completed their stock sales a few weeks ahead of the Market falling off the cliff.I then closed on the 3 Family at a very good Price, collected a $40k buyer's commission as I am also the Buyer Broker, and just finished renting the 3 Units, signing the last apt lease in a few days, getting approximately $6k per month in Cash Flow for the 1st year.Not only that, I am securing an Investment HELOC at a 50% LTV, so roughly $750k, which I can use to investing in the Stock Market.I had already anticipated the fall of the Market as the inevitable Corporate Tax breaks had to wear off eventually.There just isn't enough consumers that benefited, in my opinion, therefore Corporate Revenues cannot increase and profits has to either stabilize as the max Corporate Tax breaks levels off.Really, only one way to go.I am anticipating the decline to last for a while.As an Trader, however, I will eventually buy long term growth stocks but also hedge it with PUTs in case I get in a bit too early.My friends and relatives are ecstatic as they probably saved a decline in their net worth by as much as a $1 Million.BTW, there is an old saying, "It is easier to make the 1st Million than it is to keep the 1st Million."

However, no person on this forum really knows your investment plan, so if this deal fits into your predefined real estate investing plan, then go for it, especially if you know developers prefer two lots over one.Often time I see this behavior with stock traders.

You might refer to what happens when others come up with creative schemes to manipulate the market (other people or institutions buying):https://www.marketwatch.com/story/two-traders-arrested-over-alleged-manipulation-of-more-than-2000-stocks-2016-12-12

I am what is known as a swing options trader in the stock market community.

Buy low and sell high is not a real strategy much more complex than that, any real trader knows that. lol Stocks do have their advantages in the liquidity department. 

While many middle-men were vaporized by that internet phenomenon; travel brokers, traders, insurance, etc., Realtors® and mortgage brokers have gone unscathed thus far.

I haven't earned the right to give you any pointers on how to manage that, but just be careful.Equity traders like to teach/preach the use of strict self-imposed trading rules as a risk management technique.
