I know it would be a big trade off in speed for security, and if something happens to the property, you've got all your eggs in one basket, just wondering is anyone was successful with this strategy?

I am more then willing to put in the sweat equity necessary to make the process of teaching fruitful. if needed i will work 8 days a week to add value with my contribution, I will do exactly everything that is asked of me as long and I am able to earn a fishing rod in the process, the partner/mentor has the funds necessary to get the deals completed and a I receive a portion of the completed deals.

If it's a morning open house coffee and pastrys/bagels is always great, maybe some fresh fruit. 

Don't be the low-hanging fruit for these leeches.

I would just consider this another retirement basket, it is helping you bank against appreciation. 

@Omar Khan  this is all based on MLM marketing strategies.. nothing new here.. just different vehicle instead of soap or phones or wicker baskets its real estate.. 

I've taken part in a few networking events which proved to be fruitful.

But become a SME (subject matter expert) in what ever you choose to do and before you know it the path will become very clear and your laser focus will start to bear fruit.  

However about 15 months of that was spent trying to get it done on my own and that was not fruitful.

Add a vase of flowers or bowl of fruit to the counter to tie the floor colors and walls together.
