Are you open to speaking via phone or zoom possibly.

There is no such absolute rule or mandate for REI - it is up to you on your comfort level with your cash flow versus total investment versus appreciation potential.If I followed that rule, I would have missed out on a LOT of great opportunities over the years.We bought a house in Jones Valley in 2017 with negative cash flow - why? 

I was only with realize for maybe a couple weeks, so cant really speak on them. 

TBH these circles do speaking engagements as promotional opportunities, it’s a hand shake and “I’ll speak at yours if you speak at mine”.

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

Im happy to run through this with anyone who may want to know more on Dubai real estate.I will be speaking in Las Vegas for KW in 2 weeks on global luxury real estate also. 

I have tried speaking with a few attorneys but haven’t gotten to far.

Originally posted by @Michael Kinsella:I would second what @Jay Hinrichs said above...there was a follow up post where someone got a loan from them but for realistic rates 8% or so and few points.. under 6% private / hard money simply does not exist unless its a family friends type situation. that bank rates or lower right now for new construction or fix flip Generally speaking, I would be highly skeptical of rates under 8% for a hard money bridge-type scenario.Hard money lenders are getting their capital from somewhere, and those investors are expecting to earn a reasonable yield.

I will concur with negative comments above.
