I too have only been to Alaska once and wanting to go back so it proves Aaron's theory.Do stay active on the site and engage the community.

A great way to connect with other investors is to get engaged in forum conversations.

Plenty of lenders on the site, so stay active and engage the community, you will get noticed and meet plenty of them.

@Troy SheetsYou certainly wouldn't recommend engaging in mortgage fraud?

Good call on deciding to be active in the community, I believe it is a much more valuable resource when you engage.

I concur with Shaun and Paul about the BP podcasts, they are engaging and I find the information really relevant.

She is very, very conservative, and I want her to be supportive, and engaged in what I would like to do.

This is money better spent now then after engaged a contractor and begun the "Work".

Lots of people engage in activites that consume quite a bit of time and money because it gives them satisfaction they don't get from the job that pays the bills.

Whether it's not vetting your prospective partners well at the beginning, not ensuring expectations are in line, or not managing the project well, something is wrong in the process if all your partnerships are ending badly.When I first start engaging a new business partner, I ensure that our expectations are in line, and I am very upfront about how I want to do business and what I require from my partner, and what I will be doing.
