And some are totally cool with it, "give me 5 minutes and I'll attest to anything short of my ability to predict the future."

If he doesn't come up to speed on investing, I predict he will hold you back and your marriage will end in divorce anyways, costing you money along the way. 

But we believe the very likely returns in real estate are higher and more predictable than the way it's currently invested in stocks.

I can't predict what future markets will be like, but I can think through my risk management approach.

I would like to ask, how do you all predict which markets will have high rates of appreciation?

Very rarely do I see a buyer's financing fall through when it couldn't have been predicted upfront had the mortgage broker been honest about the buyer's ability to qualify;5.

Truth is no one can promise what cannot be accurately predicted.

Of course, this is exactly what people (including attorneys in those countries) said when the "regular" LLC was first introduced in Portugal (1917); Brazil (1919); Chile (1923); France (1925); Turkey (1926); Cuba (1929); Argentina (1932); Uruguay (1933); Mexico (1934); Belgium (1935); Switzerland (1936); Italy ( 1936); Peru (1936); Columbia (1937); Costa Rica (1942); Guatemala (1942); and Honduras (1950).In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, Michigan and Ohio enacted legislation permitting "limited partnership associations" or "partnership associations" - and again the "boys who cried wolf" started on a predictable path.In 1977, Wyoming became the first American state to enact a true LLC act modeled after the 1892 German GmbH Code and the Panamanian LLC... and the "boys cried wolf" yet again.  

You can't predict the future, but you can at least see what assessment the property is subject to today.

I don't think anybody predicted that the market would turn around as fast as it did and see 20% appreciation here for the last couple of years.
