I offer my month-to-monthers the "gold star" incentive of future discounts on rent for periods of one, two, or three years of timely payments without lease violations...

BACKGROUNDFor the last couple years, we've had one single private lender that we've partnered on rehab projects with.But after reading and watching Alan Cowgill's material, we decided to host a luncheon, so that we can take on more projects.After speaking with our Accountant, attorney, and speaking to the SEC, we purchased a mailing list of local Accredited Investors, and sent over 1000 of them very nice, professionally-done invitations to our luncheon.We even hired a company to man a toll free line so that we could accept RSVP's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.The luncheon was held at a very expensive, 5-star hotel in our area.THE PROBLEMOnly one attendee showed up.We're thinking about giving it another try.

I would have preferred a few star wipes, but other than that, excellent work, and thank you for all that you have done to to build such an amazing community.

Hey Everyone,My name is Ryan from North Little Rock, AR.

I have funded many that did 5 to 7 and last year my star probably averaged 15 but they were rock stars.Not sure whats going on in Memphis I have done some bizz there maybe 100 deals over the years all I know Is if you buy low end in Memphis you mine as well throw your money down the toilet.

You're a rockstar @James Stevens!

So in case of merger, Zillow will be "Co Star" of residential real estate website.

I got lucky, the stars are aligned.

You rock!
