Extra weight stock, yellow back, replace fax with email.

Its a waste of three things...1) Time2) Money3) MotivationThink of marketing like wanting to lose a lot of weight.

No they're putting ads on local radio and late night slots that between weight loss and Shamwow infomercials.

Even if it cost you some money it would have been worth it's weight in gold as an education.

I am exploring entering into a TIC where one person (me) puts all of the down payment in and the balance of the property financed between myself and my girlfriend at some split.My issue is that I know the down-payment dollars should be weighted more heavily in the ownership stake than the financed dollars, but I don’t know to what degree.In other words, if I put 20% down then it would reason that this 20% down should count towards a higher share than 20% of the ownership stake in the property, but I am not sure what a fair factor is…..10% (i.e. 20% down = 22% ownership).20%?

Their expertise in knowing the laws (federal, state, and local), how to handle difficult situations, access to a good vendor list etc are worth their weight in gold. 

Okay, so just to put this into my own words (and please correct me if I'm mistaken),,, You have two groups of people: GROUP A - Doesn't have any Homevestors resources behind them - May or may not be capitalized - May or may not be motivated - May or may not be educated - May or may not be serious about investing - May or may not understand the realities of how the industry works - May or may not have reasonanble expectations for success GROUP B - Has the full weight of the Homevestors brand and resources behind them - Has access to capital - Is motivated - Is educated - Is serious about investing - Understands the realities of how the industry works - Has reasonable expectations for success (I assume all of the above are part of the standard vetting process Homevestors does before taking on a franchisee) Now, your claim is that Group A has a failure rate of 97% and that Group B has a failure rate of 5%.

You keep jumping in with great things you can do with a HELOC and risk-weighted strategies.

Without that data, I dont give Airdna's numbers much weight. 

Otherwise, find a GOOD property manager and they'll be worth their weight in gold.
