You’re risking other people’s money and you also need to get burned if it goes bad.  

Very easy to get pulled into a bad property or an area you’re not comfortable with by listening to the wrong people.

Definitely a bad move on my part. 

If you start a JV in name but do not give your partners proper control and decision-making rights and the deal goes bad you open yourself up to serious consequences which can lead to SEC violations with extremely high fines.Lastly, you can offer the project up to investors who have no voting or control.  

Too bad the election is over, because loud stinky letters to the press really work well during election season.Anyway, you have my condolences. 

again, not a bad deal if they accept my offer.

Quote from @Josh Lansberry: You will hear a lot of people bad-mouth him, but Dave Ramsey can teach you how to get financially savvy real quick.

But having a backup or two isn’t a bad idea, especially if deals start flowing faster than one person can handle.Good luck finding the right team!

Not a bad return.

. :-)I guess if that $35k was a once and done it wouldn’t be too bad to send them $3,500/mo while they send you a check for $16,666/mo.
