Read this Bernanke presentation carefully - it is about as precise as any study I've ever read.My belief about the money supply (M2/M3, not M0 and generally not M1) is probably as close as any, but the DEFLATION caused the most pain in the contraction phase (we're in that now and gaining momentum) - it FELL 30 percent, rather similar to today's RE/Fuel/Machinery pricing trends.

Therefore, if you had access to any deal that was worth investing my money, you would already have figured out a way to raise the money to do the deal for your own benefit.In other words, you are too sophisticated to be giving good deals away.

I always ask questions of my investors to find out how sophisticated they are.

While ActiveRain appears to have, let's say more sophisticated real estate professionals (don't take offense)dealing in larger projects than usually discussed here, much can be gained simply by reading.

I am here to meet people that enjoy doing business over the phone.. and can make things happen from there comfort of there homes, I recently met a group of asset managers who want me to sell commercial non performing notes some of these are in the millions and discounts range from 30-45% off market value... its just hard getting a willing buyer to purchase a multi level unit of lets say 200 condos in san francisco for lets say 15 million when the market price is near 27-32 Million ... other senario's are not that expensive but we do have properties that are in the 1.5 mil and the asset manager group want 700k cash ... where do i start looking for these types of sophisticated buyers.???..

As it is advanced, anyone considering using PPLI MUST talk to several qualified professionals including a legal team.I agree that this takes a lot of sophisticated planning.

Sophisticated tenants will have caps on annual CAM increases...these can kill your NOI.Anything I missed?

Why should that inventory be any different than financing heavy machinery or any other product.

Lucky for Trig he's a baby and is mentally handicapped so he doesn't understand the viscous attacks orchestrated against him by the classy, educated, sophisticated opposition.Seriously, what person with skills good enough to be president would put up with this kind of trash "journalism"?

Maybe the judge sides with the tenant and says that this was not a purchase/leaseback/repurchase (a complex transaction that the sophisticated investor understood but the naive homeowner did not) but just a simple matter of a loan.
