Theoretically there can be an infinite number of parties involved, but it's difficult enough putting together a deal with 2 parties.

But if there’s one thing that’s true about real estate, it’s that there are virtually infinite ways to get started and be successful.So what is your success story?

It's simply easier for an investor and their hired professionals to keep track of one infinitely scaleable entity as opposed to many entities (possibly from many different states with different requirements for compliance, etc.) 

I had no money in the deal, thus I had the least risk (minus your reputation), and any profit is an 'infinite' return.

You need the infinite return to also be a significant amount of money or a heck of a lot of smaller infinite returns to become a billionaire. 

The first home was actually purchased with the intent to rent it out and I currently have an infinite return on it. 

Also, the association controls finances, insurance and many other things, a friend of mine has a condo in a unit mainly controlled by Canadians that are seasonal, in their infinite wisdom they decided to not maintain flood insurance for the development (they are in a flood zone)  now the units are unfinanceable , so the values are lower because only cash buyers can buy in the building.

XXXX monthly cash flow on ZERO investment (no money left in the deal) = an amazing percentage of a return. some call it "infinite return" in terms of percentage.

What I'm talking about is infinite.

It can be surprising how many people simply never consider any of that, as if the government was this Well of Infinite Money, and all you need to do is recite the correct incantations to the High Priest Politicians to gain access ("Here's a check for your next campaign" sometimes works)."
