I have excellent credit and can back the loan, but I would like to loan to be issued to the trust.What would you do?

Excellent post/thread.  

As what most have said, Rich Dad Poor Dad was excellent. 

This has been particularly important, given that the average hold time for my investments is 3-7 years.I think Bigger Pockets is excellent as a place to learn about RE investing, especially for those of us who are looking at RE as a means to diversify an investment portfolio, rather than becoming a "hands on" RE developer, flipper, lender ect.

They splash out of steaks, a new grill, etc.And if they win big, they get a new car, etc.If you earn $100k, you spend $100k.People cannot break that cycle of spending everything they have.And despite all these gurus pretending it's easy, this is still a rich man's (and woman) game and it takes money to play this game.

I would like to share a thought I had about the trifecta to look for when hiring a good GC for your flips; Quality work; get the job done in your time frame and within budget. 1st, I once heard on 1 of the BP podcasts (sorry I don't remember who it was on which #) that you can find those that excel in 2, aspects and the 3rd is "okay", but you will rarely find a GC that specializes in all the aspects.
