You have to learn you wake up everyday looking for a job - and it's up to you to hustle to keep "bread on the table" - there is NO guaranteed monthly salary.It'a all up to YOU!

Most claims are quick so long as everyone is coming to the table without any outrageous expectations.  

It just states that your broker will be compensated if you were to bring  buyer to the table.

I’ll do my due diligence and become a subject matter expert that way like you said even if I don’t have the capital I can still bring something to the table.

My question is, does anyone have any information or experience in this county as far as investments go for:Raw land-buy, hold, improve, flipAirBnb investments-Build and rent outWater table is high out there (280 feet or less) sandy soil for good perk(septic).

Doesn't work in sellers markets with an alternate bid on the table already.Offer a bunch higher with seller-financing.

Not to mention (since you're in Little Rock) how you look at economic vacancy between, let's say the River Market and something off of Mabelvale Pike.What's more material for you (and something that's fairly constant) is the amortization table that your lender will use. 

On the other side of the closing table, cashing that big check, trust me, you're more likely to say "wow that was a lot of work, how can I make this easier?"

Even with the 10% down, the re-financing would probably be 80% LTV max, so you'd have to bring 10% to the closing table for the refinance. 

My table stakes in this would be, if your dear friends aren't interested in going after everyone involved, then why should you be?
