The goal would be to provide a company with someone who can wear multiple hats but also make connections so that I can further develop my own properties on the side.

They've seen the guru videos where some guy in a T-Shirt with his hat on backwards is telling them he's made millions while sitting at Starbucks or beside a pool with his laptop.

Here is where you put on your consultant hat and recommend the ideal road map/action plan to help your client meet their goals.

I have to take my lender hat off and talk about the other side of our business, which my wife runs.

I was told that hat money is then refunded to you at closing when you sell the property.

But I have to remember to take off that hat and put on my business hat.I guess once the tenants have actually been placed, then maybe I can be more free to succumb to my naturally compassionate side, by being a responsible and respectful (albeit professional and businesslike) landlord.

Don't hang your hat on that though, if you find a deal that the numbers work, pull the trigger.  

And get ready to hat and envy me... please...

Account Closed Probably most homes face some kind of natural disaster, whether it be tornados, flooding, etc and as a person with investment property within 5 miles from the Hayward Fault Line, who is planning to keep this property for at least 10 years, it makes sense for me to put on a "business" hat and wanting to mitigate the risk of possibly going bankrupt.I think retrofitting is a great way to lower risk, if and only if, the cost of retrofitting was more affordable.

I cropped the picture, it had me, my dad, my brothers and my son all in black tuxedos and cowboy hats.
