40% of the gain is my rule of thumb.

So if you have the borrower's social #, property address, loan # or MIN #, and can gain access to Bloomberg or ABS Net, you can do something called a "trust search" using a mortgage auditing company.

There is no benefit (ie employer matching on the rollover funds) unless the investment options are stellar.

My name is Hughlanda Bennett, I live in Florida and I'm on biggerpockets to learn investing in general and the benefits.

I am also interested in attending REI meetings in order to network as I presume it would be a great way to gain valuable information and key networking opportunities with some local buyers and investors as well as other wholesalers in my market.
