I would also look at inexpensive no-frills windows instead of premium high-dollar low-e exotic glazing.

One of the groups i was involved in their was a exotic car club, in Plano TX, 15 of the top wealthiest people in Dallas drink coffee, Saturday mornings - at X location...Start by finding out where people you want to meet, hang out. then find a way to join that group.

Few nice exotic cars, and NO interstates within a couple hours.

As world commerce grows and travel becomes more and more accessible to the masses Puerto Vallarta has kept pace and in many cases surpassed others as the place to be for your next exotic vacation.

This one, I'm not going to wait until I'm rich to make it happen... time is their greatest enemy.Same goes with my future family, I'd want to be able to provide them the best life has to offer... but not spoil them enough to not know the value of money.I also want to start a foundation back home that will give kids access to education because I believe that the more educated the society is, better leaders will be produced, and the better off the country will be.As for me, when I become very rich, I want a 30k sq ft. home in a 10 acre land, exotic cars, an access to yachts and jets to travel the world with my family, and my watch collection.

Buildup cash and start doing your own deals.Re-inventing the wheel will take you much longer to get going.Having someone to show you what is working and is not and preventing you from making the same mistakes is priceless.Yes winterizing you are wasting your time.On the REO's I list if the property is priced right I don't need a middleman wholesaler trying to put under contract cheap and collect a fee.The right price will bring me plenty of direct cash buyers that can close fast.Asset managers sometimes have over 100 files to deal with and don't have time for investors with no money to try exotic ways to make money.Sometimes those deals work but many times they do not and the asset managers plays the percentages.Now if you have cash to purchase sometimes you will catch the bank on the right day when all the planets line up and they will take a low offer and dump it which will make it easier to wholesale.Forget all these people who say things are easy and try to sell you something.Nothing is easy and takes smart work and time management.The question at the end of the day is do you enjoy doing it??

Real "Land Trusts" are usually an exotic animal, very complex, and very expensive.Disclaimer: I'm not an attorney, this is not legal advice, you don't want to get any of this wrong, check with an experienced RE attorney!

Would you just do the same discount math or would you discount it more because it is exotic or "risky" with an unknown borrower.

If they have exotic hardwoods with fancy inlays, that's what you need to do.

MHP sounds kind of exotic to me right now.
