also... consider this:“If you have a 401k or other retirement account, you owe it to yourself to understand the history of these retirement plans...The relationship between retirement plan sponsors (financial firms) to investors is similar to that of casinos with gamblers.

The thrill of getting a great deal and watching it be transformed from a dump to a nice home and renting it out is something that's hard to replace in multifamily.

Here is Russellville we have the 3rd largest university in the state and are about to get a very large casino resort.Honestly, if I had $150k in cash I would be looking to put $50k down on three different properties and spread the risk. 

-A big reason I am not thrilled about this deal is there is not much value to add.. the place does not need really need work.

I saw earlier posts about the new law, SB 978, investor suitability requirements for trust deed investments.California now requires that when selling or brokering all of, or an interest in trust deed investments, hard money lenders and other providers have to:1) obtain information about the investor, some of which was not necessarily required under previous law, including, but not limited to* net worth* other investments* education or investment experience / level of sophistication* career history* age* income* tolerance for riskThere is a new form from the California Department of Real Estate that can be used to gather some of the information.The form, although it asks questions some of my investors are not exactly thrilled to answer, is not all that bad.2) The big part is that we now have to "consider the investor's circumstance and whether or not the investment is suitable for them."

I love theme parks and snowboarding is a thrill!
