I look forward to participating.

I'm happy to see a variety of perspectives, approaches and methods and thank those of you who participated!

I seem to remember the process for participation as a partner with the RTC was extreamly difficult and they seperated and spun off the valuable assets before they repooled, packaged, and found GP's to take what was left.

However, it does look like a cap on executive compensation for firms participating in the plan has gained approval by Hank Paulson.

I don't think they like it or want owner participation: "Go away and let me do my job."

I find doing an Equity Split (like a JV Addendum on the Sandwich LO) where the Seller PARTICIPATES IN THE NEGATIVE CASH FLOW and receives some benefit down the road.Equity Splits are valuable in expensive markets like SF, LA, NY, etc.Language might be:Ask the Seller to write down what they think would work.That way the seller gets exactly what they want, I sign up the deal, and then I clean it up later (checking with my attorney if needed).An Example:"Landlord to receive 20% of the amount of Net Profit.

Thanks for being here, you will learn a lot if you participate!

This thread is suspect, Jason, because once again there are new members flocking to the discussion who have no other participation on the site.Please note that any shills for this or any other company will be called out and exposed.

It is not the politcs behind this for me, I see this as a turning point for our country in the respect of having more Americans deciding to have a voice and participate in the political process.

Looking forward to learning and participating.
