I have a property in Texas already and I am paying that 10% to a management company which eats my cash flow.

It took me quite some time to realize, as you are clearly starting to, that in this business, law enforcement is your friend, law enforcement makes you money, law enforcement keeps the animals where they should be, in the zoo and away from the decent people.This guy is trying to shake you down.

For those of you who don't know Israel, let me just say it's far away from the USA but close at heart.I have diversify education and experience: I'm a lawyer (not practicing it for the last few years), a veteran business administration bachelor, a chef (Yep… learned professional cooking and worked as a cook and as a privet chef for some time) and for the last 15 years I'm the co-owner and CEO of Pil Animation Ltd., a leading Israeli animation studio and enjoying life with my amazing wife and 4 kids.I've been always fascinated by Real-Estate but had a fear that it's not for me.
