The option price is compensation for possible future appreciation. 

So long as I provide them work and compensation, and can realize the benefit of having one, I have one.

COMPENSATE YOUR AGENTS GUYS! 

Again, if you've never been the culprit or victim of it, it may be hard to believe.

I don't have too bad of issue with prop tax increases because the rate of rent increases more than compensates for already low CA prop taxes (one of the few taxes in CA that is actually low) that are made even lower percentage wise over time due to the max prop tax increase limited by prop 13, but could see where it could be an issue in, say TX or other markets.

So you're a victim, huh?

In that Resolution state that your compensation will be (as you suggested) 50% of the profits, with a MINIMUM figure of BLANK $'s.

doesn't sound right.I once hired a lawyer in a case that I won and I was paid compensation that was paid in monthly payments and had agreement with him that his fees with be deduced from it.

Many syndicators take oversize compensation for the amount of financial risk they are taking. 

This is a call all to those who have been victims of Darnell Cooley’s real estate investment SCAM.
