Thank you for the welcome Charles and the tip!

And, as Charles points out, there are different types of success, financial success, social and personal accomplishments.

Charles - All good points.

Here's the latest one:Interview with New York Investor: Mark UpdegraffNext up . . . my interview with Charles PerkinsI'm looking for new investors and other professionals to interview . . . get in touch if you're looking to share some of your experiences for a bit of free PR.

Charles,I made an offer of $500 and the buyer initally told me to "have a nice day" then 30 seconds later (literally) called back and said could I draw up a contract.

Charles,I don't know if there are any advantages for not sharing your profile, but I will tell you why I didn't share my profile when I first started.I think my main reason was that I hadn't told everyone that I was investing in real estate, so I didn't want to disclose all my personal information for the fear that someone I know might stumble upon BP and learn what I was upto.
