And not-as-easily do it on a property that isn't owned free and clear (I had a URL that talked about that in detail but BP has nuked it as "self promotion" despite the fact there was no promotion on the page, and it wasn't mine. 

If you have a listing you are the only agent that is promoted for that home and people reach out to you directly for additional information.

@Stephen Allen For a small amount like that you can look into a 401k loan, personal loan or open an interest free credit card and pay it within the promotion timeframe as just a few ideas.

So, I think they would promote it well. 

We used the cash dad sent and some credit cards with 0% APR promotional period to buy and fix the property.

Also deployments get in the way and being in my career it takes a lot of off duty time for PT, getting promotions etc...

You might also want to consider joining a larger office that promotes/allows agents to hold other agent's listing open.  

return on equity is an important metric tooThomas S. was a huge promoter of this.

Under the Howey Test, a transaction is an investment contract if:It is an investment of moneyThere is an expectation of profits from the investmentThe investment of money is in a common enterpriseAny profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party""Although the Howey Test uses the term "money," later cases have expanded this to include investments of assets other than money.

One we will call "GPmgt llc" to collect management fees (and any other defined fund fees) and one called "GPequity llc" to collect any other profit splits/promote.
