Amongst them are regulatory risk where a local city just outlaws it.

FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) has some good information on public non-traded REITs.

There are more higher splits with RE Agents than with the MLB's due to the nature of support and regulatory concerns over MLB's.  

For anyone interested in buying or selling a property in Indianapolis, particularly in revitalizing areas such as Fountain Square and Fletcher Place, below is an Interesting article in this week's Indianapolis Business Journal about appraisals (see link).In short, with recent strong demand & price increases in some gentrifying neighborhoods, appraisers are quite cautious to give higher appraisal values for various reasons, including regulatory/legal reasons.Additionally, it is further compounded by the fact that sales prices and property values can change significantly in the matter of a few blocks in Indianapolis, so often it is very difficult for them to find true "comps".  

Caleb,My opinion is that some people have the ability to easily start a conversation with someone over the phone and have a (silver tongue) tact to but them at ease to allow for an open discussion.Others (myself) have the ability through body language, documentation, and resources (buyers) to illustrate to someone how I can help them and put them at ease for an open discussion.So you should know if you are best negotiating over the phone or by meeting in person with someone who needs you help and sell your plan to solve their problem through a painful time.

I refused to order them to do that kind of stupidity damage to their bodies, so I told em, if he wanted their labor, feel free to ask em for it. 

@Jake GoehringIn my opinion, if you don't already have a source you can go to, (such as an attorney well versed in private lending and a CA mortgage broker who is licensed) to ask about legal, regulatory and compliance issues regarding residential lending in California, you shouldn't be contemplating doing it.

To add to this terrible situation and make matters worse I was the person who discovered the body.

You can get a good feel with body language and demeanor.

some are happy as home bodys and such .. others want to travel the world..
