But given there is NO market for new construction right now, it will be significant.As an investor, I want to:1) Get control of every single home I possibly can.2) See if there's some way I can participate in the profitswhen the home building ramps up again.

Yes, by the very nature of commercial lending, it is assumed that commerce is conducted by and between business people, a more sophisticated set of participants that allows profits to be gained under different conditions than with the general public.

Richard Roberts,BP is mostly a free ressource for all real estate investors, if you want to participate we looking for your suggestions.

Obviously, the sum required for your participation will be sufficient to cover all current arrearages, reinstatement fees and penalties.The former homeowner (now the settlor beneficiary in the trust, having relinquished ownership of the property to the trustee) names you as his/her co- beneficiary, specifying that some percentage of beneficiary interest will be held by you (e.g., you may be given from 10% to 90%).

If you have high bills then you need to cut things out cable, fancy clothes, toys, etc.Go down to the bare bones and live well below your means and then as you experience success start adding things back in slowly but still live a modest lifestyle compared to your income and invest the rest.The goal is to eventually have so much money then you live a very nice lifestyle but it still only represents a fraction of your wealth and each year it grows bigger and bigger.Most just spend all the money they make and have hardly anything to show for it.

Active participation on online social networking on BiggerPockets and LinkedIn5.

I look forward to participating and learning, and at times commisserating with other landlords. :)Cheers!

HML may be different because your not participating in the security, just lending.
