We meet the third Saturday of the month from 9:30 till about noon with a unique guest speaker every month and a time dedicated to deals and networking.

James Hiddle, I have been taught that I can't stand out as unique and great if I do what every other person is doing.

We are interested in purchasing the entire 57 acres and keeping it all together but financing is problematic due to the excess acreage and the uniqueness of this parcel size in the surrounding area.Is it possible to make two offers to the seller, one for five of the parcels (54 acres of bare land) and one for the 3 acres w/ house.

From acquisition, design, development, installation, management, marketing, and sales - just enough to get my feet wet and test the waters.Music and ecologically responsible endeavors are my true passion, so I am seeking to bring them together in unique ways for the urban environment.

What we are looking to pitch our company as, is relatively unique.

@Donald Hendricks Don calling the collective wisdom here Ignorant as was stated in the original post was the height of Ignorance :)If we had a hot section Rick could have lit out on any number of posters and gotten into heated debate. but since there is no section on this site for this kind of katy bar the door discourse his posts were played out for all to see.At the end of the day my opinion and what I personally know of the back end of marquis is they will not miss a beat in sales because of this thread, BP is not their market they will continue on selling to the marketing channels that Rick was brought in and established. marquis would not be nearly as successful without Ricks expertise and connections in being able to bring investors that 99% of turn key operators could NEVER in a THOUSAND years find or penetrate what Rick has is a very very unique situation and Rick and his associates are extremely good at what they do!

I think many investors who purchase TK are doing exactly as you're saying, buying a perceived value that is suitable to their unique situation.

This has been a really fun topic to watch.I'd like to think we're usually a B, but clueless tenants would give us an F I'm sure.One thing I've been toying with as an idea to help with revitalization in my low income neighborhood is some sort of program that matches responsible tenants to responsible landlords and possibly pools deposits.

There are many ways to play this game though, everyone's situation is unique.

I guess this follows one theme that you can find in a lot of my comments, that ratios are great, stats are great and all that, but when you're talking about as big and always unique of a deal as selling a house, its hard to try to plug any particular sale or deal into a set of ratios and get concurrent answers that make sense for every deal.
