The OP shows 0 posts but he has more than 1 post eeeeeeeerie :mrgreen:Very observant Mr_Investor.That is weird.

I would like to observe at least one deal that someone is putting together...see how they deal with contractors, what labor they do themselves...WHERE they buy there materials etc.

Another funny observation… “Beachbum” is talking about “the best of a given tenant pool”And “MikeOH’ is talking about the “Scumbags & Drunks”…All perspective… LOL

But I just have an observation...

To observe or follow closely; monitor: Police bird-dogged the suspect's movements.2.

OK Shane.The key to walking a neighborhood is knowing and observing what is happening.

For what it's worth here are my observations.........1- 80% of the information on investing in real estate being sold ranges from totally worthless to incorrect and or possibly illegal2- another 10% might work under some circumstances but either the recipient of the information needs a much more educated and experienced background than he is led to believe or the circumstances regarding the success of the method being sold are limited to a certain geographical area or a certain type of market3- the 10% of information that has value requires work, dedication, persistence, education to be used successfully.4- Certain types of individuals can self study utilizing free information available online and learn as much or more as any program or course will teach them5- most gurus are not currently successful using the methods they teach; they may have once been successful in a particular type of market or in a particular location, but they are not currently utilizing the method they teach successfully.

The 4% is an average, if you're an observant investor it should be no problem to beat that average.

The court cited corporate veil-piercing cases and set forth the following factors considered in a corporate veil-piercing case: insufficient capitalization, non-observance of corporate formalities, nonpayment of dividends, insolvency of the corporation at the time of the litigated transactions, siphoning of corporate funds by dominant shareholders, non-functioning officers and directors other than shareholders, absence of corporate records, use of the corporation for transactions of dominant shareholders, and use of the corporation in promoting fraud.

That's an excellent observation.
