Almost didn't make the offer.There are no magic pills or formulas, no secret strategies.

It's no secret that Nashville has been one of the big winners for real estate investors over the past 20+ years.

Up until now, it's been the best kept wealth building secret of all time.

I thought the same thing.None of this answers your original question, “How do you satisfy your lender that your real estate note doesn’t secretly secure five other personal loans to you from different individuals?”

Note: investors have often spent years and many thousands of dollars (in bad work) finding good contractors and will be reluctant to blast out names of their key ressources to just anyone who asks; it's their secret sauce.2.)

I was honestly too timid to ask because I thought such valuable information would be held closely and secretively.  

It's simple really.If going to a seminar and paying money will take MOST of your net worth then don't do it.People think these classes are the silver bullet to getting rich.Then they get mad when it doesn't happen and they are almost broke.I would say in that case KEEP YOUR MONEY and do mailers for leads and read FREE material in books and on the internet.Find local investors you can learn from where you want to do business.If you are making money at substantial rates and want to pay for a seminar then it won't be the end of the world for you if it doesn't pan out.It's no secret that many companies will get people at the seminars to "source deals" for them to partner on and use the fees from seminars to buy more properties and get richer.It is NOT for the benefit of those attending the seminar.I do not know this company and I am speaking in generalities.You can find these systems for 30 cents on the dollar usually selling for resale on Craigslist,Ebay,etc.When I bought a broker course on generating listings first getting into real estate the regular price was 997.00.I went in with another broker and bought a used one from the same year on Ebay for 300 so we paid 150 apiece.A year later I resold it once extracting all info for 250 to another broker.So if you are great at and enjoy sourcing information you can do it for cheap or almost free.If you want it in a nice little package you will pay heavily for it.A common tactic of seminars is to throw almost all the "meat" out there and then when you buy the course it just resays about 80 percent of what was already said with a lot of fluff thrown in.

Profit margin is a closely guarded secret in most companies. 

And I will tell you this secret, almost everyone goes over budget.

It's not a secret that Detroit is and has been declining over the years ..
