@Carlos Medina with forex a highly skilled trader can definitely match from 60K.

Im just worried that he could get greedy once he learned that im having difficulty transferring the title exclusively to my name.

BUT, knowing human nature and how greedy we all are, People who are in RC do NOT downsize when appropriate.

I do think it is going to crash though once the newbies run out of fume and will start over leveraging ( because cmone, the  big lenders are greedy and they will allow that until its too late).

You also  have the nerve to say  "The general public is  mainly to blame for some reason they think  is something they can learn in a week or weekend.. " They think they can learn it in a week-end because the GURU's at these free seminars have told them they can learn it in a week or week end  and then you say "But people inherently are greedy and they want some free lunch"  No these GURU companies are the greedy ones and they are  the vultures.BG

. :)As mentioned, I'm far more stock market trader than a real estate investor.

I just felt it was rude and looked greedy, and that was not my style.It doesn't mean that a GC is bad because he asks for a consult fee, I definitely got tired of doing 'free estimates' for lookie loos, but fortunately I got about 80% of the jobs I looked at.Just go with your gut feel.....

You can be rational with them and explain that your taxes go up every year, and the cost of maintenance goes up every year, and there is inflation every year, but in the end you are a greedy rich SOB. 

Lastly, if you do really well on a deal, don't be greedy and share in some of the profits with the family. 

Yes, you need to learn some technical basics, but I know many successful people whose strongest skills are either applying logical reasoning to system design or translating between super tech types and more outgoing trader types.
