But it could have been a real mess.You'll see if there are similar names, even if you're not in similar businesses a bad reputation of one can be confused in the public eye.I'd also suggest not using some strategy in the business name.Example; wholesale might be added in smaller print at the bottom of your business cards along with other aspects you might deal in.The public has no idea what "wholesale" means in real estate, a homeowner interested in selling may not understand and not call you.Your name is much more important in the public eye than as seen by other RE dealers, operators and investors!

If it is REO the banks will auction it, if it is not the law states its still owned by the owner of record. its like a maze and really hard to get anyone to speak to. if the bank dont own it they cant sell it, if the owner wont co operate with the bank in shortsale they cant sell it. so either way you spend a lot of time and get no where.

Return on revenue (or return on sales) is an indication of operating profit margins (NOI/revenue) and has nothing to do with how a deal is financed.For a typical rental, using the 50% rule, your ROR is going to be about 50% (not quite, because things like vacancy and capex aren't expensed, but you get the idea).Now, if you're asking about your ROI or your IRR, those are theoretically infinite, as you are earning a positive return on zero investment (the denominator of the return ratio is zero).

., as an investment sponsor in this operating space I obviously have some opinions, I'll try to frame an answer with as little bias as possible

Lets say that your expenses (everything except the principle and interest portion) run 50%, so that leaves you 5,700 for your net operating income (NOI).

I know how people will say most restaurants will fail, but not for great operators.

I co-founded a non-profit and my friends have a successful business that have been operating along the lines of a B-corp (North Carolina does not recognize B-corps although there was legislation in the senate last I heard).

I know a lot of us here think about what it will be like expanding the operations to lots of employees and having to deal with all the management issues that come up...it's nice to hear from someone who's doing it on a large scale (very large scale actually, compared to most in this business).

For financial operations, there are five key ones.

I believe it was UBIT unrelated business income tax, that is a tax at trust rates on IRA's that operate a business within the confines of a qualified plan.
