A lot of GC''s have time and money tied up in there business and would rather be hired for a job where they know they will profit rather than gamble on a property that could not only lose money, but also keep them and their employees away from other paying jobs.

I had been thinking about using that structure but wasn't thrilled about needing to set one up in another state in which I do not do business and in which I do not know the attorneys. 

Many thrill seekers out there who would pay for the experience! 

Or if Construction doesn’t thrill you, then find a REFA-associated finance education program and learn more about dealmaking and analysis, and how those vary from asset class to asset class.

Its more speculation and bordering on gambling.

Everyone is thrilled with the transaction and the seller wrote me one of the best testimonial letters I have ever received. 

There were other impacts too - gambling addictions, ruined marriages, crime, etc.

I've been on both LC and prosper a few years. right now my return says 8.5% which I'm not thrilled with but it's rising now that I'm investing in higher risk / higher return notes.

I would be in Las Vegas 2-3 days per week and gamble with a daily bankroll of $10K. 

She was THRILLED at how we handled the project. :)Good question though.
