You need to be able to do a bit of math for this but if you google Internal Rate of Return it should explain.  

I have done much research and reading and have even interned at a commercial real estate bridge loan firm.

LLC bank account, and things go from there.Also, if you are paying them interest etc, it is best to do this on a quarterly or better, yearly payment, due to cost and hassles involved in multiple small international transfers - more cost effective in one big lump.Hope this helps....

They are typically (in order) marketed internally to the house they represent, marketed to other brokers city, state, and in some cases nationally. 

After many years of doing shows, interning, and gaining knowledge; my break finally came!

My son was hired by the same company he interned with in college, but he still could not get a mortgage until he had 2 years of full employment with the company.  

I am weighted more towards debt and preferred equity deals.So far, only one investment is not performing, and in that situation, it is some weird internal situation (too many cooks at the sponsor) and from what I can tell, not a problem with the actual property.These investments were a conscious decision for me to allocate away from my stock portfolio and after I made the first couple of investments, I decided that the only way for this to make a lot of sense was to get a big portfolio fast in different cities across the country.

Although Google internally does.

And yes, we are on a national stage here (internationally actually) and as we know, all real estate is local. 

I am also trying to bring in international investors if possible.
