I was merely making a statement that unlike some other meetups, we have nothing to sell anyone.  

I merely pointed out some factual information. 

Another option would be commercial buildings where due to the structure of the leases the business tenants are vested in the upkeep of the property.If you are wanting to get your feet wet and merely be a passive investor there are a lot of syndication deals out there where a professional with experience puts together a pool of investors to invest in larger projects.  

I was merely hoping the negligence would get me out.

My initial thought is that the investors are not employees of the company, they are merely investors.

or is the lender merely conducting a "witch hunt" just for the f--- of it?

My point was merely that this isn't a fantasy scenario.

I would merely suggest tacking a small, "hassle fee", on top of the bank fees in order to issue a new cashier's check.

If you wanted to move there and live-in flip one while doing something else to bring in $ it might work but that's a whole life choice to make not merely "investing from a distance"...

In fact it was listening to J Scott speak in San Francisco that got me re-focused on the systems and processes in all my businesses.
