My main goal before the end of this year is to joint venture with a partner of mine and obtain an SRO building.

Has anyone here heard of Microsoft's Vision to Venture business seminar?

Is there anyone else who feels as he does that flipping an REO via a double-closing (or simultaneous closing) is a legally risky venture if there is no fraud involved?

Perhaps if  / when I invest in RE, I will seek out the same kind of partner / advisory service / coaching that I currently get with stock and options investing, rather than trying to learn it all from scratch and DIY.  

I've heard that the vinyl tile with the adhesive on the back is a no brainer to install DIY.

I am learning DIY as I go in this biz.

Forgot to answer your original question:My different online presences are absolutely great for my various business ventures and are becoming more and more essential in today's macro and micro economic reality.

2) Opportunity costs - I gather that this is the cost of tying up your own money into a venture thus preventing you from investing it into something else?

Why not joint venture with someone - maybe your skin in the game is the lot; they build something marketable and you agree on a return of your investment (plus taxes) and a fair split of any profits upon sale.If it's nice enough area for you to want to build - then chances are there is a market.TTFN,Greg
