Most people don’t know how to allocate the funds properly (and/or they went all cash or st bonds after their account was done crashing in 2009 and then never reinvested), these plan admins provide little or no guidance due to liability so people choose cash or ST bonds because they are ignorant or scared witless… yeah that’s not gonna get the job done I agree.  

I'm not worried about your liability on this project, considering your name "is not anywhere on the project", and also because your JV partner has purchased it through his LLC, and because he's experienced, he SHOULD be dealing with licensed, insured, and bonded contractors. 

I wouldn't really consider any type of stock/bond or index investing strategy as an effective means to generate passive "income", unless you're investing to specifically target high-yielding securities. 

I don't think they are paper assets in the same way that stocks/bonds are.

This is important because even though they do not and cannot control the long-term bonds what the FED Funds rate does affect dramatically is interest rates on things like CC and HELOCs.

The strengthening of US dollar is only bring advantage to other supplier (mainly Taiwan or China) and trigger further de-dollarization. 

Inverted Yield Curve - Short term lending makes more return than long termBond market is horrible and investment grade "junk" bonds have increased exponentially.

If they ask for their stuff in court ask to have them put up a bond to cover all the damages they did when they broke into the house.Keep saying you want them arrested for breaking in.

I'm not super experienced in real estate but I like to give my two cents and try to help where I can.Regards,Jason Eyerly NOTE: I see interest rates increasing anyways as the Fed sees the market improving and reduces their bond buying program, eventually rates will begin to come up, that's just how it works.
