How would I be able to express, or articulate that that could happen?

But let me articulate how I know.Properties that are purchased in high appreciation areas can return you 2 - 4x in relatively short period of time.

Unsure If I’m articulating myself correctly – essentially, is there a number (adjustment?)

I did talk to a few BP tax pros and most of them either did not want to pursue the relationship due to fear of the international agricultural investment and being unsure of foreign taxation (which I didn’t think would be a big deal) or asked for my previous tax return info and were unable to articulate their value proposition and how they could help me.  

If the management company cannot articulate everything they will charge you with full transparency this can lead to a lot of friction down the road.

My post was a bit heated, but, I did my best to be rational, articulate and not offensive, so, it kind of irked me when I got the notice of removal.Thanks again for replying and clearing that up for me.

Sometimes I feel it's hard to get answers from people, but I also try to best articulate my questions.

I've been following the podcast for a while as well as a few others (listen money matters and passive real estate investing).As I was discussing with my wife the idea of building a real estate portfolio in addition to our existing investment (high interest savings, stocks , 401k , IRA) I had a hard time articulating the obvious risks involved w.r.t to losing meaningful amounts of money (15-20k plus)Im planning on starting with something turnkey for a remote property (which I have tons of questions about but that's for another post).

Well-said/ articulated. 

I did not successfully articulate my point, which was, until you go through the bank approval process, how would you know it's a short sale that you can call a short sale on MLS.
