Globally I doubt how many countries still use so slow train and to block the main traffic few times day.

There seems to be more and more emphasis on what they term as equity deals.

Im interested in buying and holding real estate with an emphasis on third party management.

Looks like Britain is leaving the EU and that has resulted in A LOT of global financial uncertainty with Dow futures down 600 points.  

You should have seen how bad this was when the banks were selling tapes of foreclosed homes it was out of sight the amount of broker daisy chains running around the country wanting NDNC agreements and claiming their contact was direct to the mandate blah blah blah..It just aint real..And to further emphasis was Dion is talking about its one thing to have the dough.. its another to have the proper servicing that is accepted by the note seller .. this is were most folks don't qualify.

So much emphasis is put on having a pipeline full of leads in different phases because things will go wrong, get delayed and go south and in some instances your ability to salvage the situation depends on your perspective.

@Chris May 1- prime areas like SF, Berkeley, much of peninsula, etc. fell on the lower spectrum of your range. 2- barring a major and unexpected global financial crisis (hint: Brexit is not it), any downturn that hits us in the next 1-3 years will be primarily tech driven.

Multiple exit strategies are fabulous, especially since my crystal ball broke, as long as the investor can be educated as to a range of potential returns...with an emphasis on the minimum expected scenario.

I think it'll be interesting to watch what happens in the global economy as the EU member countries decide if they still have faith or if they want out.

As new gas fired, power generation plants continue to come online and new pipelines are put in place to increase demand for natural gas, Philadelphia is poised to become a major, global energy hub.
