This way instead of giving tax money to government programs you have no control over and a government that can't balance the budget you give to charities where you influence how much of every dollar goes to the cause.Not to mention the good will that it brings and felling good about making a difference.I have a feeling people do not get that same feeling paying taxes to an out of control government.Is there limits with a corp on how much you can give to charities within a year??

Hi Nick,You need to try to find some private money lenders.... and you need to start within your sphere of influence..... family, friends, business contacts etc...I did my first rehab deal in my early twenties.

Couple weeks ago, seven people through the house the first weekend, multiple offers, so I always expect my houses to sell within two weeks, they dont always, but I have sold enough the first weekend that I dont leave anything undone to negatively influence the potential buyers the first time they come through.

Sphere of influence can provide many deals.  

If I meet a young, 22-23yr old realtor, still damp behind the ears, and s/he is driving a flashy, expensive vehicle, I would be thinking either Mom or Dad were the broker or this person has a poor grasp of fiscal prudence and is living beyond their means.  

I influenced the popularity of chapatti as a meal of choice among Ugandans.And how did you move into milling and other businesses?

These things influence price as you can imagine.Alright so now you have a location, septic type, tank sizes, etc ready to go.  

Depending on your intended strategies - will influence who you want to gain experience from.Also, I'd encourage the idea of not getting to wrapped up about retiring "asap".

I have not paid any fees whatsoever, I received a letter of intent detailing the specifics of collateral (a share certificate for $4.7 million) and a repayment of 25% of NOI payable at the end of the every fiscal year.
