They don't boast or act like they are better than anyone here.

@Adaze Foltz  Benefits:Direct to the source; more control over the receipt of the funds (initial and any rehab draws); able to not just establish a relationship, but also perhaps gain referrals of other private lending sources (those that are happy with the returns and payoffs - talk (boast) to their friends); faster to the table; can negotiate the terms (rate, when payments are made, other fees and when they are paid, etc.); usually nothing reported to credit bureaus.Risks:Using up the private sources money (tapping them out); The private lender didn't receive their payoffs on other loans as anticipated so they are short of funding your deal(s). 

.$2,000,000 is going to improvements to the riverfront park adding playgrounds and splash pads.Since 2022 a feasibility study has been going on for a regional sports complex boasting 16 soccer/football fields, 8 baseball diamonds, 50 meter indoor pool, gym, track, and waterpark.There are several more project revamping old warehouse building turning them into trendy new dining and retail spaces.

If you send out mailers without making that calculation you are winging it.You mostly hear from people that are making deals from DMM but you never hear from  the vast majority of people that got NO WHERE using DMM because no one like to brag about a failure.The only way you can reliably make money from DMM is if you spend a fortune on it ... obviously because the open rate is so low.If you are a beginner and it sounds like you are, ask other people how reliably successful the majority of BP has been with DMM.Again the only people boasting DMM are those that have no clue what it is like to try a real marketing system, like facebook ads or PPC or SEO.Everyone screams DMM, but NO ONE shares their numbers.Show me the numbers.

I'd say anyone who claims to "know the market" is a liar or a boastful goof who will get taken down a notch during the next major downturn.Markets change constantly.

Rather than poking at or even boasting that a ton of investors have lost money and are staying quiet, be glad that you're not one of them.  

Not today.You have to have a thick skin for this business, and although some like to boast that they have it, the proof is in the pudding here in this stream.Thank you for your perspective Dan. 

Lots of us like a good poop, never heard anyone boast about being a "laxative guy" or an "enema guy."
