There were internal memos from McDonald's over the previous decade stating that they knew their coffee was caused damage at the temperature served but it was easier to pay these cases off when they occured than make a change.

I want to find someone with experience in international deals that would not mind offering insights.Much appreciated

On another, more international level, he and I have a Kiva account and we have a regular monthly session where we decide to whom we will lend our $25.00 and talk about where they live versus where we are and in what ways their lives are different, or similar, to his.I think you can teach your children the concept and *real power* of money {to do good} without conveying the message that money for the sake of money, is the objective.

That sort of was the issue with Madoff, he was doing his own internal accounting.

Sheila Griffin, I also have an intern who is very close to his first deal in the North Texas area.

BiggerPockets is clearly a great resource for real estate investors with any strategy and of any experience level.BACKGROUND:I graduated with my B.B.A. in Finance at 19 years old and was fortunate enough to find a decent paying job right out of school as a business analyst.While pursuing my degree, I interned at two small real estate investment partnerships.

The "land trust" has no special distinction in the Internal Revenue Code and would be a simple, complex, or grantor trust depending on the terms of the trust instrument.

If you don't have the cash to do your own projects, find another rehabber and volunteer as his intern to learn the ropes, learn how to spot a good deal, learn how to estimate rehab costs, learn how to determine ARV, build a buyers list, etc.Once you have all those things under your belt, then start to focus on wholesaling...
