@Joel OwensI have not owned a bank though I do know people who have looked into getting a banking license (though it was over 5 years ago so my memory might be rusty) we also had a number of regional banks as clients of my firm.I would say being President of a Bank might be status thing but owning one probably has more to do with te numerous benefits of owning a bank1) You get access to domestic and international payment networks and the ability to easily move money around, etc.  2) The biggest benefit is the ability to take in insured deposits and get access to the cheapest capital on the market through interbank capital.3) If you have multiple businesses it can serve as excellent choke point for your money as that money can loaned out, etc.4) There is definitely a prestige factor associated with it but you also get access to types of customers you would not otherwise be dealing with because they use you for other things and you know how much they have. 

We threw this exact offer in Brandon Turners 50% rule and if my memory is correct it shows 27% ROI and the $100 a month per each unit.

@Mary Rutten@Scott Schultz   Mary I don't think Scott was talking about your guest speakersits well known that the bigger players in a market will troll the REIA's looking for newbies and dump houses on them that they may or not make money on.Eddie speed is there to sell his guru note courses... its how they drum up business.. these guys are all on a circuit and REIA's are part of the circuit.that said I have fond memories my Grandfather had a cottage on Lake Poygan out of Winneconnie  not sure if I am spelling those correctly.. but I spend many summers there in the late 60's and have very fond memories.I also remember though going back in the mid 80s with a car I rented in IL  and getting chased off of the driveway into the cabin by locals who I guess don't really like IL residents..

An order was signed during mediation that the tenant has to vacate in 8 days, she left 5 days later (On Memorial Day). 

I am totally going from memory here, but I seem to remember my attorney saying the "partial payment" SNAFU comes into play if you accept any payment after she is given a rent demand but before she is served with a petition.  

It was educational to say the least and I have many fond memories.

It helps with your memory after you are gone. 

We all have short memories of what happened a few years ago.  

The banker probably did say 6 mo's rather than 12, I'm rattling off a phone conversation from memory.
