There will be only a few HML that would even consider that though.Now some other sort of auction venue can definitely work with hard money and I see it all the time.

I don't know if this is the right venue to do this, but I've run across some 'as a matter of fact' people here, so maybe they can help.

So I am moving capital into more profitable areas and venues.

Houston has major venues, baseball, basketball, and football teams and oil and gas!

Most people would agree that he deserves payment for those services without any discount based on any 'potential' future business.Now, on the other hand if this car owner does continue to bring his car in for repairs and maintenance over a period of time it is very likely/probable that the mechanic will give him FREE advise and/or discounts in the future.This is a timeless principle of life and business that is repeated time and again in all different venues/professions.

My career goal is to own properties such as apartments and venues and rent them out.

Delaware Statutory Trusts and Tenants In Common are the two main venues for this type of passive investing that is 1031 compliant.

However that part of the world is filled with a lot of actual Bed and Breakfasts, wedding venues, wineries, etc. 

They might pay more attention to you/offer a resolution if you continue to document your experience with them on different online venues. 

Venues are starting to take precautions for situations like this.
