I would recommend you invest in a professional photographer to come over and shoot so you can document your results and have "perfect" pictures to use down the road to promote yourselves and your services. 

If it was an even that you were involved with, we consider this to be self promotion and remove it - even if it's free.

This is where some 'gurus' get their information to promote to the masses.

It's often promoted as a cure-all safety net for sellers, but it may well be unenforceable as a circumvention of due process of law...

The highest position I was promoted was a Manager of the Loan Set-up Dept., but was grateful for this experience because it allowed me to create a manual since there was none, then I got to travel to Los Angeles, Chicago and White Plains, NY implementing them to these new hubs. 2005 after minimal studying, I decided to wing the real estate exam and passed, but waited till 2008, at the worst of our industry, to finally get into real estate.

So my point is when you move up to assets that can be professionally managed like the syndication promoters do  find a great commercial broker ( which is normally how the syndicators find their deals) and then make sure you get the best of the best in PM you can do this yourself..

Under 40 but over 30I'd invest the 750k in corporate bonds that would pay 8-10%I'd then take that income and use it purchase buy and hold properties on a yearly basis.I'd take the 250k and purchase 1mm in real estate throughout the A areas of the sw burbs of chicago60-75k income off the bonds will allow me to purchase and additional 500k-750k in real estate a year.I'd also still maintain a f/t career just not stress as much if I don't receive a well deserved promotion .If you crunch the math in 10 years 1mm would turn into a much larger sum. 

However I also like Darren's POV as marketing is an important aspect of promoting an brand. 

Remember, you are replacing the pre-tax dollars you borrow from the plan with after-tax funds, so this is not as often promoted "cheap money".Alternately, you can setup a self directed IRA or Solo 401k if you are eligible.  

I have been looking for a sleeper sofa as well and currently marked a few places down:jossandmain.com (sometimes they run promotion you can get good deals)wayfair.comoverstock.comsurprisingly, walmart has a couple with good reviews but you may want to go there and check it out yourself.
