Please consider adding a profile picture, it enhances interaction with other members on the site.

The promoters interact directly with the investors and the portal generally partners with a broker-dealer in some fashion.

Consequently gave away too much control and am still feeling the sting of that one.Also, early on I didn't interact much with other investors and operated on my own and kept a low profile.

Somehow I'd never considered the interaction of tenants in the building and the specific issues that might create in such a location.

From experience building traffic can add hours to your work and thus kill your pay per hour.Additionally, a lot of the pay for traffic options out there are beginning to be discounted by Google and the other search engines because they are realizing that most of the interactions being recorded are not legitimate.Finally, there are a lot of professional internet marketers out there doing the same thing so the market is flooded with hundreds if not thousands of people cramming the same niche markets.

Not mentioned in first post, but getting the scoop on tenant came over the course of multiple interactions - that were strangely repetitive and rambling at times... and he has since called back and left messages wanting to talk about it some more - that the rent was often late over the last year- why the glowing rec then??

So for me I'm focusing on getting my MS in Civil with my main focus being the development stuff since that is who I interact with.

I've met some stingy people who don't want to give the best advise , so this response and interaction is refreshing. 

If you shut off the water and galvanized ends up empty (full of air) you will start getting rust and sediment as the air interacts with the damp and likely already rusty insides of the pipe.
