I am a very skeptical person and dont want to get scammed into pay 10xs more for a product.

I’ve seen some active threads on here about people starting masterminds, you could buy the intentions journal from BP I believe they will put you in a group when you buy it, or you could just network at local meetups and create one there, then there are paid masterminds I believe I’ve seen david greene advertise his on Facebook.

Use the network however to see if you can find some product for lower cost.

Also, I am very interested in adding a second bath upstairs and/or doing something more productive with the wasted community space connecting the stairs and upstairs BRs (ie- add a bathroom here or create a 4th BR).

While I can understand some of the desire for rent control there are other more practical and productive ways to assist families in need of housing (IE fix the broken section 8 programs around the country)  I would prefer however that all of you out of state investors get out of "our town" so that the prices can go back to normal for us locals, which should in turn help keep rents down a bit locally .....

David Green said it best, "focus on building one bridge from start to finish first, become a master then move onto something else."

We consider all forms of self promotion (including any mentions of your company, website, products and services) to be advertising.

As for self-growth in human relations and productivity, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is excellent.

My plan was to sell the property next year, but wanted to pull some cash out prior to selling to help minimize the capital gains tax.Is there a proper name for this type of loan product that I should be looking for?
