I often teach this as a public service for investors: Checklist: 10 Things You Should Know Before Investing in a SyndicationBefore investing in a real estate syndication, you should carefully review all of the offering documents provided by the sponsor and look for (or ask) questions regarding the following things:1.

See how easy it is for folks to connect the dots publicly.

No one will sell you a general liability policy for less than 10 times the insurance a PA contractor needs, so...As you can see, pretty much the whole Pennsylvania GC registration licensing system is all smoke and mirrors designed to give the public a cheap illusion of confidence in an army of bumbling handymen and to keep a second army of insurance industry lobbyists fat and happy.It's a bit different if you want an electrician's license for the city, and plumbing licenses, yeah, they're the real deal.There is absolutely no conflict between being a PA-registered or Pittsburgh-licensed GC and having a real estate license.

Thanks for your question - Controlling real estate is the highest financial leverage one can ever achieve in real estate - Control & Roll is a system created by me from pure frustration with being a real estate sales person (broker/agent) - I needed to GET OUT OF CONVENTIONAL  real estate - there were too many gate keepers, buyers, sellers, appraisers, underwriters, banks, mortgage brokers and others who didn't care if you made a buck or not, if you helped your client or not, just too many ways to stop a sales from going to settlement ------- I had to find another way to make money in real estate without those regulations stopping me - cutting-off my income and making me crazy -----I wanted a system where I got paid full commission without contingencies, without inspection requirements and a way to sell real estate for all cash without having to mess around with FHA or other loan products or appraisals.So ----- the birth of Control & Roll - simply put C&R is a way of negotiating real estate with a skinny offer subject to a public auction.
