Having empathy is having the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

My question- how do you showcase your success as a small/medium investor to grab the attention of a professional network full of potential investors?

If I were in your shoes I would be analyzing your current mortgage and messing with the amortization tables.

I know its hard to advise, but what would you do in my shoes?

There are some ways to structure your entities so that some of the income is distributed as dividends rather than personal income.Flipping houses is much the same as having a shoe store, and subject to roughly the same taxes.

I don't mean underwriting, for which we all have built pro forma spreadsheets; I'm talking about shoe boxes of loose papers type of stuff...And investors are fine and dandy with that...  

I think they're still grieving from the showcase Thomas Walkup put on against WVU

Put yourself in their shoes.

The assignee, it has been often said, is placed ‘in the shoes’ of the assignor.Illinois law recognizes the distinction between the assignment of a right and the delegation of a duty and recognizes that an assignment can involve merely the transfer of a right.

Much like you took a shower, hit the bathroom, got dressed and tied our shoes this morning - you just do it and move on.
