I'm not sure how often other investors mail out pieces but I like to take a two step approach.

When I hear some of the stories told by other REI (via- BP/Blogs/Forums) I feel like bits and pieces are missing if not chunks of information are left out. 

The house was a foreclosure in bad shape; the cabinets were missing a drawer, a face, and one small piece of trim.

And the accounting heavy aspects of REI is a very different skill set than project specific project analysis which is another animal entirely than a strategic investment advisor concerned more with your portfolio and holdings as a whole as compared to each individual piece.  

Radiant ceiling heat that I have seen has wires sandwiched between two pieces of sheet rock.

The hardest part about this type of job is cutting out the cast iron pipe in pieces because it’s so heavy.

Graduated in 2011 with cash in my pocket and soon after purchased my first piece of real estate.

We don't know the value of your piece of the company or your house so we wouldnt know if the guarantee they are asking for is a big ask relative to the value of your house or just a token value to show you have skin in the game and cant just walk away.

You piece helps me to dust myself off and get back in the game.
