I know that the Governor of MI. is working hard to change investment and update the area to high tech manufacturing and support industries, The golden lining will be identifying properties that are not being used to their highest and best use, a bargin wharehouse that can be converted to solar panel manufacturing or building wind generators....whatever.

Jason makes some good points and banks have always lived by the golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rules, but now, investors should be in the driver's seat, but many still are too accomodating to alot of bank requirements.

GOLDEN.

So there goes part of the golden parachute at retirement.I think Jason nailed it by breaking down the different stages of your life (or the business life cycle) as to the needs.

Perhaps he needed the donations to keep globe-trotting?

I think it shakes up like this:Depositor: No cause for concernShareholder: Continue to monitor with cautionEmployee: Start buying your friends rounds at the bar nowExecutive: Make sure your golden parachute is working properly

If you go to court, I don't think that will wash, not that I am fmiliar with state laws in your state, but that sliding scale is pretty common here too.May be somone else should own the LLC (like your parents, brother os sister) and pay you a measily salary, with a golden parachute in 2018 when you take the option to buy the company.$500 a month for a baby is not that much really and just wait.

I see that this is an old thread, so it's probably not relevant for this situation, but here is what I would have done.A tenant that's been there for seven years is golden.

I have a small yet suitable buyers list and will begin my marketing campaign here in San Diego to find motivated sellers.However before i proceed, I would rather not find properties that are upside down and require a short-sale (although i will be a licensed RE Salesperson shortly) I do not have experience with short sales and would rather not work for a broker while wholesaling.So the Golden Question is: Since upside-down mortgages require short sales, How can I find motivated sellers who hold a decent amount of equity in their home?

Is there a serious risk of hyper inflation happening with trillions of dollars of printed money being pumped into the world economy by governments around the globe?
