If you have CCIM and Commercial Investing experience then you may be able to put it to use, otherwise, he baits you in with just enough info. to get you excited but not enough so that your confident to go do deals....So there's a Easy Button fix, just "partner with him" and get your Hands on training plus a percentage of the deal.

Comparing the two investment startegies, while reasonable, is just no comparison at all, as both are entirely different.Furthermore, the example he laid out with his stock investing experience, which I would venture to guess is a high percentage of all stock investors, goes to show that RE, when done correctly and when you as an individual, take control of the investments (and have an understanding of it) trumps any guesswork from not only the traditional and average stock investor, but even the stock investing pros.

if so what is the percentage markup?
