Have any good "investment" assertive realtor(s) in the area that you recommend? 

And the Odd retail client who happens on to Scottsman Guide.It was always my assertion that all the debt side of crowdfunding was just being a HML which in essence is what they do.. cloaked in the new shinny object  IE : Crowd funding Portal"  I think it was a pretty neat move they made getting traction with all the mom and pops investing in their deals up to the point they can get institutional Credit facilities which are far easier to manage and maintain and can be cheaper as well..

I assert she was just blowing at that moment.

My CPA has been doing my taxes for over ten years and definitely knows enough about RE to keep me out of trouble, but as I get more active I am concerned that he will not be proactive or assertive enough for my tastes.

IMO, it is counter intuitive to assert that rents follow value. 

@Ken Scarbrough - I am assuming you meant to ask me to elaborate :)Doing things the way you used to doesn't work anymore - this is your assertion.

The numbers above do not seem to support any of the articles assertions. 

I also did not find any evidence supporting the assertion that they didn't hold their value either.

Rather than rely upon assertions on BP, I recommend that anyone interested in this opportunity call AREC to confirm that this work can be done without a license.  

I'm asserting that now.Every market and asset class will be different.
