Daniel F. Harb Did I Mention I HATE The Stock Market?......
24 December 2018 | 70 replies
I started a Partnership with some friends and relatives who mainly are Stock Market Investors.The purpose of the Partnership, in this case an LLC, was to purchase a $1.5 Million 3 Family in Brooklyn, All Cash.3 months ago I told everyone to pull out their cash in the Stock Market.They completed their stock sales a few weeks ahead of the Market falling off the cliff.I then closed on the 3 Family at a very good Price, collected a $40k buyer's commission as I am also the Buyer Broker, and just finished renting the 3 Units, signing the last apt lease in a few days, getting approximately $6k per month in Cash Flow for the 1st year.Not only that, I am securing an Investment HELOC at a 50% LTV, so roughly $750k, which I can use to investing in the Stock Market.I had already anticipated the fall of the Market as the inevitable Corporate Tax breaks had to wear off eventually.There just isn't enough consumers that benefited, in my opinion, therefore Corporate Revenues cannot increase and profits has to either stabilize as the max Corporate Tax breaks levels off.Really, only one way to go.I am anticipating the decline to last for a while.As an Trader, however, I will eventually buy long term growth stocks but also hedge it with PUTs in case I get in a bit too early.My friends and relatives are ecstatic as they probably saved a decline in their net worth by as much as a $1 Million.BTW, there is an old saying, "It is easier to make the 1st Million than it is to keep the 1st Million."

Serges Lemo Lease extension on a newly acquired property
24 December 2018 | 5 replies
For legal, insurance and any other related purposes, I believe your attorney would strongly suggest you either let the lease go M2M, or replace the existing lease with your new lease (in your name or your company name), but do not create and execute an extension on someone else's lease.Most leases contain language that turns a long-term lease into a M2M upon expiration.
