Claim: I3 Solutions was issued a Cease and Desist order by the FTC.Fact: I3 Solutions was never issued any Cease and Desist order by the FTC.For reference, if you had stopped after your first statement of, "S&S Private Capital, Inc. and S.O.S. is not in any way affiliated with I3 Solutions," I probably wouldn't have dug any further.But, then you felt the need to defend I3 Solutions against the allegations, which made me wonder...Long story short, according to his linked in profit, Gene Schwalen is both CEO of I3 Solutions, Inc and S&S Private Capital, Inc, which in my book is much more than just an affiliation:http://www.linkedin.com/pub/gene-schwalen/5/29b/863In fact, it would seem I3 Solutions and S&S Private Capital are run by the same person, which would likely make them one and the same, though I guess technically the guy could be so good that he's maintaining two CEO jobs simultaneously...

Yes, you've put money into property, but it's incidental to the profit-making activity.

Its one thing to put yourself in a position where you profit from putting real deals together from desperate sellers and buyers looking for bargains.

You can profit from "secret activities" too if you just don't act like 90% of the sheeple out there.

Secondly, if you want to complete the deal this way, you will most likely have to give your money investor 50% of all profits.

You're right, determination, and a slow focused pace gets you where you want to be.With land I never realized any big profits until about 8 years into it.

I'm significantly less educated when it comes to picking stocks compared to them so I take the easy(and more likely more profitable) route and simply buy the market itself.

Have a Profitable Day Everyone!

Convert it to a SFR like yours and you could make a nice profit.
