what is "hard money" versus private money?

I'd assume the terms you have where buyer is paying closing costs means you versus the wholesaler.

This helps tenants with sales to pay owners the rent versus a customer going into a store looking at things and buying cheaper elsewhere online leaving your tenant without a transaction.

Even if there was no down payment and no commission to an agent you still have buyer side closing costs to pay for and  reserves needed for the property.People often ask if a buyer has 20% down then why would they not go conventional versus seller finance??

Much of the answer is negotiable when you talk about profit splits versus contributions.You need a good attorney to prepare a well thought out operating agreement that will cover all of those concerns.

I think it comes down to investing philosophy and and tolerance for risk versus extra perceived yield.The national median housing income is about 53,000 on average.

What are the pros and cons to renting out a space 2 and a half hours away versus moving to a new location I have some familiarity with?  

the owner was on a business trip ( which I wanted to discuss now versus until his return on Monday which is doable since we all have cell phone).  

So your telling me as long as the company isn't bought by someone else who has a slave that does the same job you do or they don't outsource your function, or the company doesn't go bankrupt and use you pension money to give the CEO a big bonus, your set for life.There are a ton of restrictions on real jobs, I was a executive for a fortune 500 company out of college and giving them 70 to 90 hours a week which is really giving them two employees for the price of one, I decided to get a life versus a real job.

Now I am refocusing my attention back to financial freedom and aggressively looking to master real estate investing versus just being an agent.
