I think I could have sold tires and been successful, maybe not as successful as in RE, but RE was not the key to success, simply a means to make money, for me it was (is) easy money, but I enjoyed my business, my contributions and assisting others who wanted to achieve something.

It doesn't sound "illegal" but this whole thing with a "mentor" taking a $2000 fee and then his wife also being the seller making a profit without disclosure leaves a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth.There are probably many who would argue that by being in the hard money business, I'm the pot calling the kettle black.

If you have a junk offer with junk terms it's better many times to reduce the price a little and try to do a regular deal.With owner finance the seller still has to worry about the property,that you will file BK,that your LLC will file BK,that you will leave the property in worse shape then when they sold it to you,and a whole host of other scenarious like that.
