It's become so inundated with spam on several channels, it's ruining it for many people.

I did some research for a client of mine regarding a raffle of cosmetic surgery and raffles appear to be gambling (at least in the state he wanted to do it).It may be different if you were doing it for charity -- as in, all proceeds go to the charity and no one profits from it.

thanks.I thought buying at tax sale was kind of a gamble / football game.

They told me because the laws are that once I'm married the other person is entitled to what I have and that if my spouse for example had a gambling problem I'm responsible for that debt too unless I had in place in South Africa what is equal to a prenup over there. 

Hi Kristen, I have not gotten one from him, though I have gotten similar unsolicited emails regarding real estate from a number of addresses (lenders, with or without quotation marks, team builders, etc); ironically, I get far more RE spam that passes through my filters than any other kind.

If they can get a much higher return then the 9% and the investment is smaller then they might take a gamble with the money but it doesn't affect their overall liquidity as a small percentage of their worth.If you want premium lending rates you might have to approach friends and family.How much money are you trying to get per investor??

I'm interested in investing, not gambling, so I'll stick to reading until I'm ready.

I once borrowed from him where he made me sign a statement (one of 100 statements) that said if I gambled away the loan funds in Vegas that I was still obligated to pay him back.

They don't like dealing with money they don't know where it came from (drugs, prostitution, gambling, theft, blackmail, fraud and so on.)

Let them know you won't be spamming them and the emails can include both upcoming projects/requests for investors and then updates on the projects themselves:  Here is our latest project, another rental property for our ever growing portfolio.
