We look forward to an incredible 2025 and continuing to grow our businesses together.

I think it’s a more recent consideration (maybe in the past decade or so based on my digging / anecdotal feedback) and perhaps some of you that have been in the business longer and simply renewing old policies may be getting a pass.  

@Michael Klinger  As others posted, SoFi and Discover personal loans are good options and I've used them in the past.  2-3 business days from application to funds in my checking account. 

But from a moral & ethical perspective, you may want to decide at some point to just eat it and accept write it off as cost of doing business.

I’d like to get into this type of business.

I assume this income/loss is passed onto your personal return through a K-1 and the business files a 1120? 

It's shifting to a model of a big anchor, a Target or a Costco, and lots of little businesses in that same shopping center. 

For instance, if you're in some of the well known markets that multi-family does very well in ( Boston, Columbus, Etc. ) , multifamily could be a great starting point for your investment business. 

BP doesn't allow any form of marketing in the open forums, which includes your business or services.

I recently watched a video of a social media guru suggesting in 30 days he could have a team in place in any market in the country and be up and running with a successful real estate business.
