To keep the Irish from ruling the world

It attracts progressive thinkers, entrepreneurs and artists who value nature, fitness, youth culture, and being wired (in many ways).

Matthew Irish-Jones SFR’s in Monahans TX (1), Tahoka, TX (3), and I’ve been submitting offers in Lubbock TX, but so far no good.

I am not very familiar the the cultural issues regarding people on boathouses (haven't met any) but if I was on a boathouse and someone called me with a good investment opportunity, I'd be glad to hear about it.My concern with your call and your post is that you are still approaching it as if the guy is doing you some huge favor by letting you invest his money.

Brian you seem to be very interested in treating people very fairly and really helping them and that's what I am all aboutMany wholesalers who have been taught " to step on people to make money "contact me because they want to help Sellers fix problems and develop a reputation for being fair and honestI had one of my students that was a wholesaler for five years and really hated it because he had to keep going back to the seller to push the price down because the cash buyer wanted to cheaper priceI look at the best way to get started in real estate is to get your license and solve problems for sellers and get testimonials on your website that you were honest and fair helping them solve their problemMy dad was a poor Irish second-generation in Boston and had no money when he was a kid and he became an orthopedic surgeonHe told me "do no harm" when I was a boyI think to me "the wholesaling fever pitch seminar racket" is "stepping on people to make money"An alternative to the "wholesaling only" model is to be able to "help sellers sell on terms verses for cash"Ron LeGrand in Tampa has said to his students get licensed because of the brokering laws in FLI really feel that people should just do the right thing in the beginning, learn every legal way to help people with real estate, and you'll develop a reputation for being a great fair business personif your licensed you can act as a principal and use creative techniques like subject to, lease-option assignment, wraparound mortgages, master lease options, master leases, whatever tool works for the situation

Following on other replies about the presence of university and hospitals in Champaign/Urbana, I would add that there's a specific cultural dimension at play that contributes to the difference in price between parts of these cities and other areas of Central Illinois.

Now it is a melting pot of all cultures living there.

No amount of success stories, no number of impossible situations that Agents are not equipped to handle, no logical attack on flawed equity stripping logic or questioning if I was "ethically" obligated to offer top dollar (I'm not, you're not, heck, they don't even do it in retail) could slake the hate or turn the tide of an entrenched culture.

And they are culturally appropriate to our prospects. 

IMO, using the term investor is misleading when used by an operator, but I understand the English language changes with popular culture, but accounting, tax, financing and business terms do not.
