I am looking into a company right now that does rent guarantee insurance and also does in lieu of deposit will issue a bond that the tenant basically gets charged a monthly fee for.

The remainder is primarily in annuities, bonds and cash related vehicles. 

Private notes require more work than Stocks / Bonds, is the added return worth the extra work?

It's how I've maintained a perfect bond rating and managed my business with the CSLB>I've read many of your posts and am aware that you feel that you can decide when you want a permit or not  I would word it differently.  

I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

Which based on the gnashing of (mostly “frugal” REI) teeth, was the lowest in the industry (for most of you, especially with multiple, active accounts).I have my IRA, HSA, and CESA accounts (more on Solo’s shortly) with Quest.

But just hating on wholesaling in a wholesaling forum is so unbelievably pointless. its not dead per se  but it is starting to be regulated as it should.. oregon just passed their version. where to wholesale you now need a license and over site by the RE commission.. along with criminal back ground and a BOND.. and as we know not everyone can pass either of those with the bond being the tough one if you have bad credit your not getting a bond.

If I don't want the stress of RE I'm just going to buy index funds/stocks/bonds - much easier to liquidate than getting back my money in a syndication that's not doing well.  

Have a picture of your family actually installing a big fancy door.And of course, I assume that you are licensed/bonded/imsured as required by your local laws?

what happened to me is all the good rate bonds are snatched up before we could get them.
