Working on projects, brainstorming, collaborating, bantering back & forth as a team really helps bring synergy to what you're doing.    3) I've been thinking about playing volleyball again, and just got a set of golf clubs so I can incorporate some physical activity into my schedule.  

I don't have a lot of experience, but I would be interested in putting time and energy into a collaboration with other investors. 

Just think if our politicians could collaborate like this. 

I'm a chicago investor and I would love to discuss, collaborate, and possibly partner with other likeminded and ambitious Chicago locals.

It seems much easier to team up with others for help and ideas rather than hoard and turn away from collaboration.

Yep the pendulum is going to swing too far before the laws figure out what to do with the collaborative economy.

I didn't know they were collaborating on another podcast -- hopefully they will have me as a guest. ;)

They also collaborate with you on design, amenities, budget etc. but if I can increase traffic and revenue being on the program I’ll give it a shot.

Investors definitely played a part, but the biggest transformation came as a collaborative effort with the non-profits in the area, assisting in the resettlement of refugees and immigrants to the area.  

None of them have their own money involved, they have a list of 2800 or so they say, investors that they mass email out a property, they usually get from the one off deals from unsuspecting students who bring in deals in hopes for a collaboration.
