I guess Monday will be another fear sell off of stocks, and that the hysteria will be promoted by the news for a while.

I'm tired of the exaggerated view of financial freedom a lot of books seem to promote.

Not only is the business full of scammers, it's full of people who swallow the "method" hook, line and sinker, to promote the method thinking they are assisting others.

I'm sure BP would promote the piece, as well. 

New name (for promotional purposes), same strategy. 

It's definitely possible to have one investment partnership that has an LP/GP preferred/promote structure, and have that partnership invest in another deal that also has an LP/GP promote structure.  

I have seen a course but I have not seen or heard of a person say they actually did this except what the course promoter and what you people have stated.

"In what may be a precursor of thing to come throughout the state, the Sacramento Bee is reporting landlords are increasingly using flimsy pretexts to begin wholesale evictions of low- and moderate-income renters from apartments so new owners can charge much higher rents to more affluent tenants or convert units into high-priced condos.This is promoting of tightening of the California already tight rent laws and the appeal of the Ellis Act Read on"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/dan... 

So, in all of the deals we sponsor, we structure our promote in both cashflow (after a hurdle) and capital events, so we are aligned with our partners' goals.  

If you are doing a GP/LP structure (with a preferred return) - cashflow is distributed based on ownership stakes, then GP promote kicks in once preferred return is met.If you are doing a GP/LP structure (without a preferred return) - GP promote is taken off the top of cashflow distribution, then LP ownership stake kicks in.If you are doing a JV structure - everything is split based on ownership/capital contribution If your goal is to syndicate real estate, you definitely want to become very knowledgeable in how splits/promotes/fees work for GP/LP structures.
