Sometimes sellers are not fully available due to travel, habits (drugs and alcohol) and emotional issues that may have contributed to the reason they're in the situation they're in, in the the first place.

@Brian Sabet I am glad you finally "joined the ranks", my question is, what was preventing you from contributing and joining for the last year?

Each of your contributions are recorded and your share of profit and loss are passed to you accordingly.

Thank you to all the contributing members.

The investor pools include waitresses who contributed $2500 and and retirees who used $200K+ of their pension plans.

If I don't have something to be talking about and contribute to the discussions, than I'm probably just not doing enough.

First, a big thanks to all who contribute to BP & that awesome podcast!

We will all be contributing unequal amounts but since I'm doing all the work, they've agreed I will get a larger percentage of profit than my contribution percentage.This should be an LLC with written agreements I understand, but how can I have the funds ready to buy a house with cash before knowing what the house is going to cost to purchase and rehab?

Thank you for the warm welcome and I look forward to learning and being a productive contributing member of BP.
