Adrian, Jerry and John to name a few.I am amazed at the lack of respect investors seem to have as to the importance of contracts, I have seen laypersons write some real junk with poor sentence structure attempting to write legal phraseology, use incomplete sentences and write ambiguous agreements.You're betting that all the time, effort and money you have invested in trying to accomplish a transaction where you may have thousands of dollars at risk or perhaps profit, is to be held together by the legal understanding of someone who got their training in high school English and off the internet or from some guru.

John M. Where to invest -- Good areas/Bad areas
17 November 2018 | 88 replies
Your only issue is language and culture barriers - they're very foreigner shy and where the good deals are, almost no one speaks English - so you have to rely on turnkey operators like ourselves.Personally, the vast majority of our portfolio is Japanese, with euro and USA hedges - wouldn't have it any other way, but I'm biased. ;)
Steve Brown Dodd Frank re: lease option monthy credits
13 January 2014 | 5 replies
Dodd-Frank, I don't believe uses the words "lease-option financing" what you will find is that the DF encompasses the SAFE Act and establishes authority over any consumer RE transaction that is designed, intended to or facilitates the transfer of title in a 1-4 family dwelling by doing so.You will be very busy looking up the statutes that have been modified, adopted or the recension of regulations, going back to 1938 that I noticed.Much of this stuff lies in definitions, you can't just read the word "make" or "makes" or "maker" of a financial obligation and assume it means the same thing as a car maker or one who makes cookies, the English word has different applications.
