I can't learn if everybody just affirms my viewpoint.But I prefer to think I'm not a flavor-of-the-month type with no defense for my convictions, either.

So when I get a 200k commission check while more infrequent it goes for a very long time.There are many different flavors for real estate which is what makes it so interesting.

I would recommend you check out FCI Exchange to get a flavor for the pricing and locations of performing notes if this better suites your level of comfort/risk. http://www.fciexchange.com/If you are just looking to loan money on RE projects, then probably one of the crowdfunding platforms like Fundrise or Realty Mogul may be a better choice.Have fun!

Subtle difference but a difference none the less.Famous lawyer once said you can't write a law I can't get around.

In our instance the FCRA is not in-play :)Here in Canada, Credit reporting regulations are at the Provincial level and there are subtle differences in each jurisdiction ... but, at their core, they are closely similar to your FCRA.I'll have to verify, but I seem to recall that here the Consumer is entitled to a "free" copy of their credit report by requesting it in writing and supplying a self-addressed, postage paid envelope ... there may also be a limitation to the frequency of this service (once per year?).

Annuities come in various flavors, but the two simplest varieties are period certain and lifetime.

There are subtle ways in which translations can completely change the meaning of a paragraph or a document, and if you are not fluent in the language to which you are translating you can create something that means something else to anyone fluent in that language.

For example, being a licensed RE broker, you have to always be aware of the laws and even asking something as subtle as “where are you from?”

If you want very detailed information, local newspapers can give you a great flavor as well.
