No one deserves to be taken advantage of, but this family did not do what I consider the minimum necessary to keep them and their children safe.

I choose to get leads using free marketing techniques. 1.

If you find a relatively safe (what was in 2008-9?)

They might deal with them in different ways, but virtually all people use these techniques, consciously or unconsciously to accomplish challenging goals.

Mostly my motivation comes from the fear of "settling down" with a safe job, a mortgage and a minimal retirement plan.

I'd be interested in finding out who's got more advanced technique course/books.as most know I'm not a huge fan of using L/O as an entry strategy but it will be my favorite exit strategy until I find a better way

If I own property in my own name and have a $2M umbrella, the property is safe unless I have a claim greater than $2M against me, while if it is in an LLC all of the equity of the property is at risk for any claim, right?

Something like a small, low risk, rental is a good safe place to start that will help you get comfortable with investing.

I'm a firm believer in starting out with a focus on one investing technique.

Remember their techniques at these events are to attract the masses.
