Rather than having the entire pie of nothingness isn't it better to have a small slice of a great thing?

Set a concrete goal and slice it up into smaller pieces.

Seems like most will rely on MLS or locators to bring the tenants, so you want to ensure a larger slice (35, 40 or 45%) goes to the person who brings in the tenant.

The unions want to keep people employed, they want a slice.

the stock markets crashed worldwide because of the lack of regulation of lending practices in the housing market that was set up about 10 years ago by Clinton (um, liberal), money was lent to people for housing who could not afford to pay it back, and mortgages were sold sliced diced and priced on worldwide stock markets as securities backed by property assets... the assumption was that housing prices would defy gravity and forever rise and the market would forever cooperate. if the Liberals (or for that matter the masses) read the "Economics in One Lesson" book the current Liberal monetary policies would cease to exist because they are illogical and do not work. would you lend money to people who can't pay it back?

All the time our buyer thinks he's in the "note business".Fact is, he might as well be buying CDs or stock or bonds, each time he does something the broker takes a slice of his pocket.

Don Konipol has some posts on the legality of this if you dig on BP.No matter how you slice it....it is going to be work.

The risk is whatever % buy in you are at, you have to personally guarantee that % of the loan.It really is an interesting business model, I like that the guy who runs it, also has the largest buy in and is on the hook for the largest slice of the loan.

I just wish the law would let me take a small slice for "management" of the funds :-).

Hi fellow real estate investors, hope you guys are all having your slice of success.
