I didn't want to get rich, but I didn't expect to pay every dime I make for the rest of my life for basic living because of what I perceive as a national financial disaster - obviously not just a "natural real estate cycle" - evolving from poor economic planning and oversight on the part of the politicians who have been paid by my taxes from my hard work for the last 35 years to assure my (at least basic) quality of life - for life.

Every get rich quick hair brained scheme out there.When you become a commercial broker or investor one thing will be perfectly clear.TIME IS MONEYWhen working with investors I look at how out there the plan is.The more imaginative the plan the more things can go wrong and the more chances for failure.So when you only get paid when you close you look at probability and percentages like a hawk.I have many listings mainly in the Multifamily and Retail sectors.I do work with a small group of investors.Since most of my time is spent marketing my clients listings I only work with the most qualified investors.If you have money provided by proof of funds valid within the last 30 days AND you are realistic to the market then a broker might work with you.If you have NO to LITTLE money relative to what you want to buy and NO experience then you don't bring much value to the table.

The trouble is that "the rich" EMPLOY the very people he is trying to help.
