hi just read the book and here to foster some partnerships in development (land to turn key) and short term airbnb rental scaling. i own a few pcs of real estate and rentals and was previously a licensed agent in CA, nice to meet you all

While I do have employees to handle other tasks, I do all of my own biz dev. 

Designate someone in your office to be the “Suzy” that talks like a low paid employee who is indifferent to a result and is the one who requests for her mgmt company.

Employees shuffle around like zombies.  

At the end of the day, we’re running a business, and we’ve got employees and marketing costs to take care of, so we need to make sure it all adds up.

@Dave Foster Thanks for the idea on reverse exchange.

got it, but the business entity in question wether LLC, corp, or whatever the case... does it need to be 100% owned by my wife since she can position herself as "full time" investor as I'm a full time W2 employee currently. 

You can use @Dave Foster for your QI.

In the active business, I have employees.

As Dave “the expert” foster said.
