You can expect investors will want a preferred return of 8-12% that is paid out before you as the sponsor get any promote.

I know a guy, but I can't mention him or I'll get flagged for self promotion.

If you are going to promote yourself, then I recommend buying a PRO account. 

I was listening to a Podcast recently, #242, where the interviewee was talking about how he used Facebook (FB) to promote and "advertise" his properties.

Would recommend doing some reading on SEO/SEM so you can promote that business fairly cheaply :)

Sure you pay fees and a promote along the way, but paying the promote (normally) means it was a good deal and you should be happy to pay it!

But if you're getting lots of these offers, you can probably bet on getting another to transfer the remaining balance to if need be if you can't pay it off within the promotion time.

It is used in housing, lending, hiring, promoting, firing and prosecuting.This horse left the barn long ago.

Good fortune would have it that I would be hired by a great company for a position I was not qualified for, then after an injury to a co-worker I was promoted into a even higher paying position.

This was not my idea of an ideal Saturday.In 5 years, I earned myself several “promotions”, which simply meant that they would pay me an extra $.50 per hour for each hour of my time that I spent reconciling their cases,meeting their deadlines, and being handled more difficult and complicated cases to reconcile the longer I stuck around.
