I found this definition of the master lease online and wanted your elaboration on how it works: http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/...

Would you mind briefly elaborating on your statement below?"

I’d like to take advantage of every position I can when it comes to taxes/protection without going into crazy elaborate situations where I form a special trust in FL to register it to an LLC in Nevada, who operates in MO lol….The equity portion makes sense though.

Can you elaborate further?

Hi Everyone ,Let me first introduce myself to the community.My name in Kenrick from Aruba(the caribbean), I am a young entrepreneur on the island also involved in real estate.In this discussion I will elaborate more about types of real estate investments in Aruba & where I see opportunities.Aruba is a part of the Netherlands, but still we are autonomous, this being said the Netherlands still has some responsibilities with Aruba and other caribbean islands.Aruba has its own currency & its own government.For more info on Aruba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArubaReal estate in Aruba:Arubas real estate I would describe as a strong market, we have seen only growth in real estate prices this after more then 20 years after a market correction due to the closing of a refinery leading to job loss and Aruban citizens migrating to other island.Aruba in the past years have seen major condo projects & is still being invested primarly from Venezuelan investors with there condominium projects.Property land prices have been rising as supply does remain short of the demand of houses.Land:In Aruba if you want to build your own house, 2 ways you could do this either buy a property land or a government owned land leased to you.Property land being the most expensive(most valueble) & government owned land being the cheapest  with restrictions are still available depending on size average size needed is 300 sq. meters or more.Housing projects is still a big business because of supply and demand, dividing big pieces of property land and developing them into housing project is a good business with draw back in regards to getting permission from government departments, must have a concrete/paved road, infrastructure in place all expenses for the real estate investors costing time & money with could lead into a delay of a year or more.Opportunity:Opportunity to buy either a big piece or a small piece of land which could easily be divided can easily double your money in 3 to 6 months time.

I'm sure that there are way better experts here that can elaborate.

Instead, I created an elaborate budget in Excel to figure out where my income was going. 

Was wondering if you could elaborate on "my target was extremely specific"?

@Bill S. can you elaborate on how I can lower my second offer if that were to be the case?

@Claire Trammell I can handle the response rate I currently use pat live for screening my calls I appreciate you elaborating with the rates for me those are good averages to look forward to I was kind of skeptical of direct mail starting off because of low conversion rates but listening to bp podcasts I hear a lot of investors using the method.
