I've been lurking for a couple of months and have finally decided to make my presence known.I have a couple of rental properties in Birmingham, but I am now looking to expand my holdings.

The "I'll send you something" is a cop out because you weren't in familiar territory.

Goes with the territory, guess you can do anything you want to, might get away with it, then again you might not.If you want to loan money and take a slice of the profits, enter into a joint venture type partnership, fund through the partnership, the partnership can pay interest to the funding account and repay the principal, when the profit is made, pay it as agreed.

There's a big presence of folks from Colorado so you you feel right at home.

Any experienced pest co. can verify the presence of them if you can't.

It is even funnier when you sit back and realize your "trusted advisors" do not even know you exist...... sometimes.Thank you David, actually, you have not been very active and I have been aware of your presence and contributions, all pretty well thought out with mature judgment.

Welcome to BP @Jennifer ConnollyThis is a great place to learn and meet people.Strong presence for MA and FL here so either way you should be able to get some good local contacts on here.Definitely hit the Black Diamond meeting if you are in Worcester that day anyway.

I'm in the process of starting to look into my own investments and am still surveying the territory for where I'd like to start.

There are several other groups as well, mostly networking, some with an education presence.  

Problem is- we are in uncharted territory with central banking throughout the world.
