LOLA highly desirable product does not last into being finished and empty in my business model.Set your goals much higher!!!!  

All that does is slow you down, and quite possibly stop you dead in the water...with no chance to move forward since the are you are investing in won't allow for the reuse of funds.Also, never invest in opportunities.  

Congratulation on your decision to "step out", after being in conventional real estate for so long, it is a big decision to want to be more productive, earn more, and build a portfolio of profitable properties as a real estate investor.It is difficult however for agents/brokers to change hats, to forget the old ways of doing the conventional real estate business and to get educated on the creative ways to control and roll real estate.I commend your decision to do so.One Broker to another, if you need some suggestions, just give me a call.Good luck.

I'm a big fan of how the product you offer is so inclusive of many of the services someone in that position may need.I'd be very interested in seeing some examples of the direct mail pieces you are sending out.

I admire and have lots of respect for anyone who is in business for themselves, it's not easy to keep your head above the financial waters, while paying taxes, taking care of production and baby sitting employees.As business people this is why we need real estate to shelter our business income and to have a cash flow back-up for the times when cash flow is low in our businesses.Good luck.....Charles

In this case they should have known up front that there weren't going to get paid for such listing which would have brought me back personally to a conversation that I've had with other investors that I work with which is the following:On off market deals in which the seller (no matter who) is not paying a commission I'll work either two ways but  first off let me say I won't bring you the deal unless you're going to give me the listing when it comes to retail (the finished product) so that's that.  

Thats too slow.
