by Hugh Bromma[disclaimer: this is not an endorsement of his self-directed IRA company, in fact I got started with his competitor's company and keep planning to move our accounts over, but haven't gotten round to the "rolling over"-though persons considering raising real estate capital this way, should compare the fee structures of the top 3 administrators of the self-directing Real Estate IRAs-- as they can differ significantly, based on the number of transactions you anticipate annually...Bob

I trust your post is in jest, but I have had people put 'for sale' signs in the yard on properties I own and steal and vandalize property I own, so can't advocate your enthusiastic endorsement of criminal intent.

I'm sure when they started out, they had to do some outbound sales through cold calling, direct mail, etc. to other businesses in order to land B2B contracts or endorsements.

What is a title endorsement?

@Mike Alder   10k in many west coast markets won't even cut it for Earnest Money deposit.If I was in your market and I needed to stand out against the competition I would simply have my brief case full of 10k cashiers checked made out to my self   and ready to endorse over to the seller..

I never endorsed anything.

I was already headed towards direct mail before your podcast, but your endorsement of it made it a certainty.

MLS and association dues run me about $550 a year and that is just for me any agents have their fees as well.Originally I paid a yearly E&O premium to who CAR endorsed.

There is no ownership, endorsement, or affiliation with these companies or trademarks.

The lender will be on that check as a loss payee, but will endorse the funds for repairs 90% of the time.
