In a worst case situation, you may need to pay investors from your own pocket to keep them for future deals, otherwise your business model won't sustain itself and this was a failed venture.

The time to invest in your education via seminars is when you've reached a plateau and need specific training in a given area or expertise.

My primary objective is to help Individuals and Private Investors earn Above Market Returns on Passive Investments, that are Doubly Secured by Real Estate Equity and Positive Cash Flow, while focusing on Capital Preservation and Wealth Creation, over the medium to long term.I came to join BiggerPockets because I always have this Burning Desire to Expand my Model of the Universe, stay on the Cutting Edge and be surrounded by Like-Minded Professionals.

Over the years, I've accumulated experience, some expertise and resources. 

Hello,As you know, the cash flow after debt service will go up or down depending on the rate you are paying and hence the monthly mortgage.Rates go up and down, but will likely go up in the future.For someone who's planning a business and is hoping that rates stay below a certain mark in order for their model to produce positive cash flow, is there any way to guarantee with a mortgage broker or banker a specific rate.  

I don't have the expertise or the education to assist you on this, but my guess is you will be shocked with the response.

Yes, there is value in the land and the structure, but the primary value is in the business.I, personally, like to use discounted cash flow models to help me determine these values.

Our time is best spent making deals not venturing to areas that are not our expertise.
