A competitor of ours does it on a platform with smart contract as well as crypto to invest.

Santarelli, in two YouTube videos explains the promissory notes investment opportunity (Link), and mentions some of his other ventures including, “cannabis and crypto investing” and producing/co-producing six new Broadway musicals.

I own real estate investments and I own other asset classes like stock, crypto, etc. and there are pros and cons to all of them.I will say there is nothing wrong with selling your property and utilizing the cash elsewhere.

Any particular reason you've chosen this market from all the way in San Diego? 

I'm hoping I've completely misunderstood your question, because just about every mutual fund and crypto investment is several times over 3 percent 

Chosen right, some of those South side neighborhoods may become hot, and give you large amounts (percentage-wise) of appreciation.

I have broken down 4 key benefits to a retirement account: 1) Compounding interest in the absence of taxation (particularly with a Roth IRA) 2) Ability to self-direct into alternative assets, like real estate, private real estate partnerships/syndications, crypto, gold & silver and other alternative investments. 3) Credit protection (see state specific laws), but generally inherent protections. 4) Upon death, if setup properly, probate avoidance 

I specifically and repeatedly told my coordinator that they are accruing $500/month debt on a small balance and it would be in their best interest to just pay me and my coordinator has confirmed that leadership is aware of the situation, but they have chosen not to pay.

Great problem for my existing portfolio, horrible problem for my chosen strategy.

Hoping" for me was never a strategy as the future is unpredictable.I hoped my $480,000 condo in Chicago would appreciate and it didn't move since 2018.My tenant a crypto exec has been paying me $3,000 in rent on the 28th of each month like clockwork for 5 years now.No capex, no issues at all and that has been a breeze.3% ROI isn't sexy enough to me tho 🤷‍♂️I'd probably be cheering right now if it moved up in value but it's been a dead deal in my eyes.But it is what it is.The numbers in a deal TODAY per se don't rely on hope and are a more predictable outcome.Granted, the numbers need to be "worked" and a more "hands on" approach is needed in such markets.Thanks Hi Engelo, you have been doing this for a long time and I know you have the skills and tenacity to manage high-cash-flow properties, but you have to admit, you are working hard for your cash flow, this is not passive at all.
