This sounds self promoting but the event is free with no selling speakers ever and no meeting fees or memberships.

So we decide that we need to do some marketing to promote ourselves.

Sounds to me like MTH was here soley to promote Pinnacle.

They would pass out fliers and entice buyers or sellers with their “expertise” – a.k.a swindle people out of as much money as they could.

Mitchell and Pratt enticed the straw buyers by offering to pay a kickback of up to $15,000 per property or to make the mortgage payments until the property could be resold for a profit, or both.

When these are available for turnover I have to make them a B class property in a C class neighborhood and try to entice B class renters from other towns into this town.

Handing a tenant a few hundred dollars of deductible back as a renewal incentive would be enticing.

My thinking is to use the exemptions and structure the deal as a pass through transaction, but a third party providing that pass through would likely need a license.....more later maybe....I have also heard that Lonnie is still giving boot camps and promoting such transaction, I don't know, but I'd like to hear how the SAFE Act would not apply to what he does.....especially since MHs are specifically mentioned.

I was "promoted" in my day job to Cleveland though and wasn't wild about the growth potential there, so I focused on appraisals until the crash took that away.

When you go to the REIA, if it's anything like mine, there will be stands full of promoting services, some of whom will be hard money lenders.
