"Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain" I believe was the line from the Wizard of Oz.

But at $870/oz, pretty tough to stomach buying it.

Tools for demonstrating credibility, discussing your team, and your track recordetc.Again, we're talking about potential lenders in your sphere of influence, where you already have some degree of credibility and trust.

The good news is that over the next 3-4 years, you will get to know the property in and out and know it's quirks and also be able to scout out a good property manager in the area (since other folks in your chain of command and sphere's of influence will also be in the same situation as you. -- Own and then move and will need to rent their places out.)

I scooped up a decent amt in 2009, with an average cost at $15.77 per oz.

Im 27 years of age from ireland working in oz and about to finish up a job im in due to my holiday visa.

That is just my sphere (Though it does cover a few dozen couples) so take the grain of salt.Anyway as Paul said check out some of the local investor meetings.

I am starting my business as a wholesaler, and as it grows, I will do fix & flip, buy and hold, & eventually apartment/commercial buildings.I am all excited about this business, because I meet people from every sphere, also being in my mid 50's, I need to build some residual income, to secure my nest egg for retirement.

But I am buying silver TODAY and I will continue to buy if it drops below 16$ an oz.
