Hello All,the thing about Marko Rubel which i noticed there , because i watched his webinar twice is that , he is trying to convenience everybody that his business model and strategies of financial solutions are the best through getting the profit by ownership , which is not taxable like as a capital gain , and it is the best model for the real estate growth now compared to the last 5 years of recovery after the 2008 market crash , while the money of wholesaling or flipping are not capital gain are taxable big time compared to that , so those models are not convenient to the current market and it's progression , i wanted to discuss this idea with anybody who might know or think of it , i do not think that is absolutely true , any ideas thanks Ehab T
