I've worked for a few direct lenders and theres a reason the cream of the crop become brokers; half of W2 employee LO's have no idea what they are doing...If I'm buying a property, I want a good quarterback directing me through the process, not a third string who is lucky to see the light of day.

We are currently on contract with an additional farm in Idaho that will allow for additional row crop revenue but not require additional manning or equipment due to the vicinity of our other RADD Farms/Ranches in Idaho. 

But for the current crop of these events It seems like the same 20 to 40 people going form one to another.

Not only to cover the existing issues but the expected issues that will crop up as the house ages.

Paying taxes on the seed rather than the crop. 

I look at it through the lens of: 1) If I contribute to a pre-tax account like a pre-tax 401k, Traditional IRA, SEP IRA, I get a tax deduction, but now I'm in a partnership with the IRS, but I don't know what I will have to pay them later on in life when I start pulling money out (that is because when you distribute you pay taxes based on your effective tax rate at that time, which can be unknown). 2) With Roth accounts, (Roth IRA/Solo 401k(k) with Roth component), I can get the taxes out of the way on the seed, so I don't have to pay on the crop. 

Don,  great points as usual from my cheap seats what I see coming down the pike and have personally experienced over the years in Sub to is this new crop of Guru pitching this form of acquiring real estate..

I like Marco and have spoken and had drinks with him over the years quite a few times.Decent bloke and pretty straight shooter.The mastermind stuff is legit as someone that I have looked up to and would consider a friend and mentor even tho we haven't connected in a while is Eddie Wilson (Aspire, Think Realty, Power Room, etc...)Cream of the crop business man, entrepreneur and philanthropist.Marco is affiliated with them so that side of the investment IMO would be safe to say the least.Never was a fan of OPM or venture capital.Raised $500,000 once for a very high risk tech project and got F#$@%ed by my CTO.Was skimming investors capital from the top that should have went to the developers...I shut it down as soon as I found out and paid back my investors (Even tho I heavily stressed that they would probably loose).Now I have someone throwing at me an unsecured LOC of between $250,000 - $500,000 at 12% interest.Can turn it around quite low risk and double doing deals over 12 months but I'm still hesitant lol.Just in case something goes wrong, I'd rather loose my own capital that somebody else's.Call me crazy but it is what it is lol

I have had people leave me Christmas ornaments and lovely notes in my guest book.

Keep up on any thing that crops up that needs repair.
