So there is no question in my mind all these folks that think Hey I will just help these people and let them invest with me while I do all the work.. etc.. run a huge risk.. and for what to buy some low value asset to make a few grand a year.. not sure like I said why anyone would do that.. but I suspect its taught at some of the note schools.. and we know gurus are not on the front lines of what is legal and not.other wise there would be no reason for the bigger established players to create 500 series funds.. no need at all they would just JV all the notes.. easy peasy... in CA you can fractionalize notes legally without securities but you need to be a CA broker or NMLS or have consumer finance license all these states have their thing.. that was part of my problem in Oregon..

Based on the zoning I can do nearly anything I want.I am looking for a low neighborhood impact business that has a high cash flow with low entry.My thought is in buying shipping containers and packing them in tight on the lot and creating a commercial storage business.By my estimates the property could generate up to $96k a year with less than 1 year's income to reach full build out.Any one have experience with this model?

Mainly because you are calculating using a Property Tax based on the last price.My client argues that it is reasonable to use current expenses to calculate the price, because you are supposed to create a selling price that is the most attractive for the seller (higher price).

Also before you decide to buy a property you need to have an Operating Agreement created by an attorney clearly detailing each person roles and responsibilities.
