After getting the phone call from police that her duplex was the one where they were storing the stolen goods at(among other substances) she got with a lawyer to see what she how she could mitigate losses. 

I would sell your car if you can do so without a loss and downgrade to the $2-$5k car that you can tolerate.

They should’ve insured the property lines as well and you might have a claim for any loss or damages.

I believe Matt Faircloth lost about $750,000 on one of his investment properties.It sounds obvious but it's easy to get caught up.Nathan i could be wrong but I think Matt's loss was a crooked 1031 exchange accomodator in FLA.. here is our procedure as we send wires pretty much daily 1 to 5 wires go out.

@Eric WilkinsonHi Eric it’s a very standard process that really becomes a CYA for the title company so they don’t have to pay out losses.

So, short term losses are washed out by years like 2018 and 2019, which "ran" for well above 16%.There is an element of "luck" here, like any of the FI pandits will acknowledge. 

A partnership generally requires the parties (at east two) to carryon a trade or business and implicates the sharing of bottom line profits and losses.Based solely on the above it sounds a little more like you are being compensated on a one time basis for services rendered rather than as a partner sharing in the profits and losses of a partnership. 

They take 75ish% of your restless your mtg to determine income or loss.  

i.e. people person vs numbers person, Meyers Briggs, etc.The people that do well in stocks tend to be highly educated, decades long stamina, world class numbers and analytical skills, readers not talkers, life long learners that can connect many global dots together into a strategy.But most run on emotions and that's why the only winner this week was JPM/GS on the VIX.Now if you meant trading, things get worse, as 90% or more fail...If you can't handle high amounts of risk, stress, losses, etc.stick to real estate or hire a world class broker that has your back.If you still want to invest, I would recommend going short NOT LONG until we hit bottom!!!

I think a decent summary of this is, return on investment is the gain or loss relative to your capital invested, while return on equity is your gain or loss relative to the equity held in your investment.
