I don't just hand over money unless I have a good respect for the person. 

But I’ve never personally invested in real estate using business credit more traditional for my first property, so I’m always curious when clients say they want to use this funding for a real estate deal.Here’s where I get stuck:Real estate deals can be risky, especially if the project takes longer than 12 months to close or unexpected costs pop up.With prices climbing, it feels like the margin for error is smaller than ever.Would you recommend someone use business credit to invest in real estate?

Plus say another 4 feet with the person standing. 

What is your personal criteria for buying here?

The TL does not have any personal information about those leads, except the fact that I have been talking to them.- The TL states that those are technically the team's leads and I will owe the 20% if they convert within the year since I was given training (which I was not), lender referal (which was forced on me by the TL even though I work with my own lenders for my clients).Is the above statement true/legal/valid?

Geez, there’s so much opinion, emotions, beliefs, and personal experience in this thread.  

Personally, we would not do that deal.  

-Outlines what is considered damage to linens and other personal property (ie., stains, etc)-MTR we are flexible on the lease end date and will prorate last month's rent. 

The thing that the gurus never tell anyone is that the majority of creative finance deals are done by investors who don't need creative financing, that is their leverage and why they can walk away, thereby making them more attractive then the one person who can only do the deal one way because they have no money of their own.

I can only speak to myself personally but I've continued to invest, knowing properties may not cash flow much but I've invested in value-add so focusing on appreciation.
