$1500 is nothing - in the scheme of things - if that makes the difference between making it happen and not.I'll say this: I only got enough gumption to get started because someone - whom I didn't realize at the time was serving the role of a mentor - essentially guaranteed me he'd support me for the first project.  

You are guaranteed to expand your knowledge!

Of course this is not a guarantee but it helps to reduce risk.

hereI also remember her mentioning a website that guarantees you a refund of your exam fees if you do not pass the exam, but I will have to get back to you on that.Bottom Line: Take a breath and realize that 40% of people do not pass the exam their first time through (the stat that I was given for our CT + National tests).

People are living there.RV park cannot exactly guarantee monthly income, unless they are popular, it's summer travel season and they are full.

@Bill Gulley,The whole "foreclosure rescue" thing has been outlawed for a few years now.Educated people know that when you approach someone facing foreclosure, whether you're talking short sale or some other solution, you make it clear to the seller that you make no guarantees, the lender must agree to any short sale, modification or other solution involving the loan itself, and that whatever you attempt may not resolve their situation favorably.That's called disclosure, also.

He has stated their usual procedure is they can guarantee me a profit of $10,000 per $100,000 spent.

If you get owner finance do not get a personal guarantee.
