@Jonathan Mueller I just read through this thread, very interesting, is it still going well for you!?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

I have read the book on long distance investing and still am not too confident to get started.

I just signed a bunch of disclosures from my lender and after reading them it has me thinking, "Is there a cheaper way to do this."

So, Benjamin, if you're American I would give that some thought.Below is a link to a forum thread in which I outlined why, you can read if it'd be helpful. 

I'm hoping to learn from others on the forums, perhaps find some mentors, meet some people in person and watch them do the things I've only read about thus far, and grow my portfolio. 

I closed out the webinar after reading that clownish response; I will not be emailing my four questions to a tech support address. 

I’ll admit the fear of failure and unknown holds me back regardless of goes many articles or reports I read or deals I look at.during this search hundreds and hundreds of ads come through for training/mentorship style groups.

We had to read some IRS publications when we were uncertain about a few things.
