Presence or absence of a contract is not a factor in whether someone is a contractor.

There are several numbers before that that are the same for all pieces, and a bunch of digits after the section number, most of which are zeros.

I have been a very successful investor, earning consistent double digit returns for myself and my investors, and I have made plenty of mistakes, taken a number of loses.

Yup that can certainly be a good option @Caleb Heimsoth thanks for the reply.The issue is that it will only work with certain types of businesses, and it certainly won't fly with my 100% digital business.

Your presence isn't just interesting, it's very reassuring.

While there are probably thousands of David Beards in the world, there are only two Bryan Lynchards (and the other one is a child with no internet presence).

You can enter the market anytime, mostly because interest rates are not in the double digits yet.

Reach out to friends and family, let them know the type of deal/asset/market you're looking at, create a website and online presence, and add value to others through thought leadership.This allows potential investors to build trust with you, which is key to raising capital.

I am looking at using the following: - Car & bicycle - 3 ring binder with laminated printed maps - digital camera (smart phone) - grease pencils - index cards for notes :drool:
