@John Horner  you guys have over reliance on attornies in your closing process.WE would be doing this work without an attorney.. actually our title company would handle it for us.. and if they got no where then we go to the state and pound on the door.. the state wants money you have the money.. they should or will take the money.you step in and do the leg work...

Now, 10 years late, the youngest baby boomers are turning 60 and the ones who are retirement age have been slow to leave the workforce.There will be an impact when the baby boomer generation fully retires and again when they pass away, but I don't know if that means despair for those of us remaining.With the technological changes where the very core of how we work is changing (people working remote for example and less reliance on a motor vehicle), I think it's really hard to predict doom and gloom.Yes, we will have recessions, but I doubt anything close to what compares to 2008. 

This was primarily driven by a reduction in the reliance on Construction and increases in Financial, Education, and Health Services.We have sites in Chandler on our radar; so, near Gilbert. 

I know some of the people building those giant buildings downtown, and while I am not happy with the style of the buildings the city allowed them to build (I am extremely conservative when it comes to architecture styles, and would prefer they were 100% faced in brick and not these weird mishmash things everyone builds now a days), or what I perceive as a lack of parking and over reliance on a luxury market, they are going to do quite well for themselves, so on that front it is hard to argue.

A million dollar life insurance policy is pretty amazing if your family is broke, but as investors it's likely that most of us will already leave a significant nest egg behind when we pass, greatly reducing a reliance on an insurance policy.There is nothing wrong with insurance, but people need to stop implying that an overly complicated IB strategy will out earn other investment methods. 

The big tach firm's are working on models of other monetization, that's there way forward, how to capture the data and monetize it differently to create relief on reliance of sole monetization from the agent model.

Reliance on Free and Clear Sale.

For the sake of my own productivity and self reliance, what are some methods you guys have used to find deals outside of the MLS? 

Your first post contained two opinions that would get someone acting in reliance on them in some real hot water in a number of states.

I respectfully disagree, and there are plenty of Legal Ethics Opinions circulated amongst the various bar associations in the United States which suggest that anyone who furnishes information in a setting which would reasonably be foreseeable to lead to reliance is on the hook for Unauthorized Practice of Law.
