As a note investor, I am in favor of cleaning up the servicing food chain to get better and faster results.

"They are operated extra-legally or illegally, but the city has bigger things to worry about than going after someone raising a few chickens," she said.Kirk Mayes of the Brightmoor Alliance, in one of the city's poorest areas, says there are 200 community gardens in Brightmoor alone.As farming is imagined for Detroit's future, abandoned land would provide fruit and vegetables to the city's inhabitants, for whom fresh food is often not accessible because grocery stores are few and far between.City and county officials have no hard figures on the number of empty plots and abandoned homes, and estimates vary wildly, going as high as 100,000.

Just food for thought.

And it is thru the acceptance & skilled management of risk that we find the greatest rewards.

The food. . .my god, the food! 

Voting just adds to your justification, you can only vote based on your residency in a district, declaring that for voting is just a justification as we don't have voting requirements to be registered.As to zoning, if you have a bed, a means to prepare food, personal items like soap and a toothbrush, a place to sit, a couple changes of clothes in a closet, no city or county type can give you any flak or claim that isn't your address, nor can anyone else.

I know that it is a two-way street and investors are taking a risk, but their risk potentially carries a bigger reward if they are successful whereas the agent may not enjoy such a benefit.

I just simply divide the reward of the the deal into 1/3 each.

the hard part (whether you take the guru course or not) will be the same for everyone starting - consistently taking action, searching for deals, running the numbers, networking w/people, rinse and repeat.you've done the easy part once before... this time you can skip the easy part and do the part that will reap you the rewards if you're consistent.good luck!

They are the bank.Obviously you would need to research this and see if this fits your risk/reward model.I know guys that rarely if ever go to a bank for traditional financing.
