In terms of DF XIV, here's a link to the summary: http://www.aba.com/aba/documents/RegReform/TitleXI...I have a more than casual interest in using captive financing, probably going to get a license.

They are neurotic with their businesses.This captivation is what leads to success.

If it’s a lot you can use something called captive insurance company to shield profits.From my understanding you basically set up an insurance company you own, to insure against different stuff you then pay insurance premiums to your own insurance company and that’s a business write off for the other business, but you also own the company taking your money..Anyways you’d need a good lawyer to set this up and I believe with fees and maintaining it you need around 2M to make it worth your while

@Brian Corbett good questions, but also be aware that the profit center concept allows a couple of things to happen: with a large enough "captive" property base, the PM can drive discounts with the vendors, which benefits the Landlord.

I am a 21 year old virtual quick turn entrepreneur with a measly 5 units in Toledo that I've picked up over the last month, To hear all the tribulations and set backs towards building a rental property empire is captivating to say the least. 

These gurus get you all hyped up with their half-truths, you become, enthralled, spell-binded, espellbound, dazzled, bewitched, charmed, captivated, enchanted, fascinated, enraptured, magnetized, hypnotized and you don't know whether to poop or go blind, so you run to the back of the room and can't wait to shell out your cash for nothing you know about.And...we have a thread currently going on about why investors fail.
