This is a much surer path to success, and now (during the COVID-19 pandemic) is a great time to grow your investor base, educate your investors, and rise up as a leader.

Many family members may never need to take out a loan in a given year so they would have the option to transfer all or part of their funds to another checking account specifically for providing small loans to other family members at say 2% per month interest (1% going to the member who put funds in the loan account and 1% going to the person who took out the loan) Risk would be minimized as they are small loans under $2500 and can increase as each successful loan is paid (like building credit worthiness) within the family, no colateral, more of a trust as we meet religiously on a monthly basis it’s like Thanksgiving every month with my family.We’d like to brainstorm different investment projects (cross checking each with a RE Attorney and CPA as well as a respected Pro in that field) it can be real estate, small business, etc.

Some of my friends have teams and after splits make about 800k a year as the team owner or leader.

These lenders are designed for people with religious barriers to paying interest on a loan, so these loans do not charge interest, but they do tend to charge high fees. 

I've gone to the Onondaga County REIA meeting, honestly I found the leader to be very condescending and discouraging.

I had to let them go.Never “loan” your VA’s.Fortunately, I had other VA’s, and I didn’t miss a beat, but I sometimes miss that wonderful team leader.

If you're angry, as I am, look no further than our Political Leaders!!!!

For Bob this is bordering on a religious conviction that cap rates should be used only in the way he deems appropriate and us lessor mortals have no right to even spell the words on the forum.

I'm a big believer that saving a few bucks here and there (even religiously) isn't a recipe to achieve wealth.

While the syndication leader came highly recommended, we have not made a dime.
