I then take it to my title company (the owner of the title company is an attorney) and have them construct the instrument that we are using and the note. 

Either of these instruments give you some protection.

My thought based on the players I've been around is while you have the headphones on...be listening to something worthwhile like the BP podcasts and less music. 

BP has been somewhat instrumental in promoting "wholesaling" but unfortunately, very few people seem to be concerned with the laws, and sadly, even fewer are concerned with people screwing over sellers.

Once the music stops, company has no incentive to do buyback and more focus on real fundamental to create cash-flow/divident to the investor.

By the way, my response to the thread was not to defend investment in real estate or properties as some sort of inflation immune instrument but purely to clarify that the hypothesis (subject of the thread) wasn't/isn't scientifically verifiable with current data.

one thing i would skip: at the only real estate seminar i ever attedned, after every break, they would play loud, corny music and you'd have 2 minutes to collect X amount of business cards...that's not my style--i'd rather talk to people and get to know them, but peole were running around throwing cards at people and leaving, never remembering names or looking at faces

Incidentally, The Madison Square Garden ownership group teamed up with Irving Azoff (those of you into music will recognize that name) to totally refurbish the FORUM arena and now mega bands like the Eagles, Phish etc have played many nights there. 

If you ever played sports it's very exciting.It's probably the same high you get Ben listening to music and playing.

My wife runs a music school, and I have www.JustAskBenWhy.com and lately I've been thinking about ratcheting up both of those...Just got an eMail - 220 units.
