I am the owner of DealMachine and take personal responsibility for making sure we communicate clearly and have issued a refund to you (the initial charge was April 2023 and it is 2025 now... sorry it took so long to see this).Direct mail is a hard cost, so when you send out direct mail, you get the first 20 free during the free trial. 

Saw an ad on Craig's List, I negotiated the deal personally on the first meeting.

Approval is based on rental income, not personal income.

Could it be considered piercing the corporate veil if the mortgage for the property is in your personal name but the deed is in the name of the LLC? 

I personally am not trying to build a portfolio of 100 doors, I am trying to build a portfolio big enough to support our ideal lifestyle. - We start with the property vs. the numbers. 

While I am a lender, I personally use hard money on all of my own investment projects.

On the more "inexperienced" side, I have a friend that partnered with a syndicator, and that syndicator outlined the following, typical, structure:Deal Sourcing: 20%Underwriting: 20%Asset Management: 20%Capital Raise: 40%Others will partner where splits of various fees/carried interest vary based on each partners roll: i.e. if one person sources the deal, underwrites and asset manages, they get say 70% of AMF, Dispo Fee and Carried interest and 40% of acquisition fee, while the capital raiser keeps 30% of those fees and gets 60% of the acquisition fee. 

Jeremy, I hope you don’t take this badly…..I noticed your posts don’t get much “traction” The reason is they read like slick marketing “puff” pieces you find posted on LinkedIn all the time, rather than personally engaged discussions, If you want significant engagement, just write something out, and don’t even “edit” it, just go with the first draft, giving the effect like a personal conversation with someone.  

If your GC is open to be a personal guarantee, this could possibly work. 

Above just the assumption that it'd be far more of a corporate environment, I just don't think that would happen at a larger shop, at least not for quite awhile, and I do think I would generally be more at home with a smaller office of people (smaller being relative to multi-national, or coast-to-coast, I suppose).Personally speaking, do you find that you're in that type of environment with a boutique brokerage?
