You only make 10k for that headache.Better put that money into 7% CD in one of Los Angeles Credit union.

Your architect should be able to verify that they have made appropriate assumptions at that time for the items not in the set at that time (since permit drawings are hardly a 100% CD set).In general it will be a good idea to carry a healthy contingency (around 10% or more depending on the number of unknowns) to absorb the unknown unknowns and things that inevitably get missed in the pricing process due to routine human error. 

Hi Tanner,The way I have seen a REIT set up is an existing portfolio was put into a REIT by a REIT attorney.One of the big players in REIT's has been Sam Zell https://www.youtube.com/watch?

If you have an IRA-Owned LLC (Checkbook IRA) you can look at investing the idle cash within the LLC's checking account into a CD. 

You can put them into shortterm CD’s but never stock or mutual funds. 

I think you could buy a duplex in Columbus,OH, invest in stocks, partner in on a start up business, and start a CD savings account with your current savings.

I'm looking for higher yield alternatives to CD with very low risk. 

Please put it in a Cd and earn $1,000/mo while you study and learn. 

It's wild that CD rates have dropped almost a point while the Fed hasn't even had a chance to move rates.

I'm talking to a professional poker player from Los Angeles that wants to invest - the advantage to him is he does NONE of the work.
