I believe that we all have strengths and weaknesses, play to both and build a system with solid goals, financial advice and a workable system and stick to it.

My personal strengths are interior design and negotiations.

And I sense you are not the type that will waste anyone's time when sharing your strengths and weaknesses. 

From that experience I learned that the first criteria to look for when investing (for the long term, 3-5 years) is the strength of the management team.

Their personality, likes/dislikes, strengths/weaknesses, short-term/long-term goals, etc. 

In terms of the corporate veil piercing stuff....I haven't had the misfortune of testing out the strength of the veil.

It just depended on the experience and financial strength of the sponsor, the length of time the asset was owned prior to the crash, and the leverage used.  

They are trying, as all businesses do, to maximize their income by leveraging their strengths.

The big difference is the Pits pure power and strength.

Now the best deal would be to work out a deal with the old investors to buy his interest thus strengthing the new investor's interest in the property, and likely to be able to file for quiet title.
