I saw the need for a trusted platform, saw the changes in securities regulations, and came to the conclusion that crowdfunding is the kind of disruption that has the potential to completely change the investing landscape.

I’ve been a reader for a long time on these boards and after spending a lot of time looking at multi-family properties I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s probably not the right investment for me.

So I've come to the conclusion that with the low balance available in my self-directed IRA that I'd probably have to start with the note investing.

Anyway, as you can see, there's too many unknowns to conclusively answer your questions. 

NO way you can sell rental insurance and make it work in the C class Insurance company would lose their behind which they finally realized and pulled out of the market.those are just some thoughts , I am glad you spent the time Jon to come to the same conclusions.

If anyone wants more details about my experience, I will gladly share it here on BP so that you can draw your own conclusion.

If you, the wheeler dealer, pro RE investor type convinces a seller to enter into a loan agreement you devised, make no mistake, your tail is flapping in the wind too.People can agree to all sorts of things, they may or may not be legal, if the parties reach the conclusion desired, no muss or fuss, everyone is happy.....okay.However, individuals unlike corporate entities suffer from what is called "life events" these are events that happen to individuals, they die, the go into a hospital or nursing home, they get divorced, they take bankruptcy, they get sued, they go to prison or they might even talk to someone like their attorney about something else and mention an arrangement.These life events usually cause other eyes to begin looking at financial dealings, any life event can cause a financial matter.

In conclusion, I wish I could tell you that you can mail 2000 postcards and will get a ton of calls and you will have several deals. 

Ive been reading a lot of sales books that state consistently that u have to lead your prospects to an choice by giving them choices that leads them makes them from emotion to rationalization while at the same time helping cont to an conclusion. now i know some people don't want to sell but in talking about the unsure of the situation so the answer is not that simple. but i also believe that u need to know there motivation but what do u ask that's or how should u say to to keep it from being or feeling threatened. also if u make cold calls how many do u make and day, and if so how is your % .

In conclusion, lets all keep our eyes on the prize..
