Mark-- it's been an absolute joy and true pleasure having you on board and helping you meet your goals in real estate and financial freedom.

Couldn't have said it better myself mateThe pure fact that the poster is going out of their way to post about us is proof that we made the right decision.We "dodged a bullet" per se.I "touch" every investor inquiry because we keep our operation boutique and exclusive.7+ years later and 3,000+ investor calls, plus a thorough pre-screening process enables us to quickly make a decision if we are going to be a good fit.I have a detailed log in the CRM of basic questions asked that I won't reveal because I don't like dirty laundry being exposed.Plus my undies are Extra Large so I don't want anyone getting a complex heheheWe can sell houses to everyone until the cows come home but that's not the way we view our operation...It's not just about us but also making sure that we can deliver on the investors expectations.Do we sometimes make mistakes and turn down a potentially good fit?

Cost is always a consideration, but since this isn't a pure investment, not looking at it as cash return, cost, value of improvements, etc. 

You could use that equity to buy way more proprety that spit out cash flow as opposed to a single family which is purely an equity play. 

If it's not making you money or bringing you joy. 

If purely financial in nature.    

While meals directly related to your real estate investment activities may be deductible, meals that are purely personal in nature are not.

so for pure commercial the 30 year fixed market is slim .

I've heard investors finding better prospects in the Midwest if pure cash flow is your goal but I would also say don't take away from the value of equity appreciation in a market.

I’ve seen a bunch of posts here over the past six month on BP where people seem to be betting big money (some call it investing) based purely on someone’s charm and word.
