Quick question on SD 401K partnering
11 September 2012 | 6 replies
I'd ask "who's name is on the offer", but that's probably not exactly the correct wording.If you or your s-corp are the buyer, the 401K cannot participate in the deal in any way.

Study by Pepperdine on optimal bidding strategies
8 October 2012 | 3 replies
While I didn't read the entire article, I imagine that whatever was ultimately proposed as an optimal bidding strategy was the same as following Nash equilibrium, another concept you might want to familiarize yourself with from game theory.Now, the problem with using Nash equilibrium -- or any other optimal bidding strategy -- in a real estate auction is that the item being purchased doesn't necessary have a commonly agreed discreet value (what the article calls a "common value model").Instead, the participants in a real estate auction may have very different perceived values of the properties up for sale, depending on what their exit strategy for the property is.

The End of the BiggerPockets 'Influence' System
11 December 2012 | 45 replies
Eventually we changed the system to one that we believed to be more fair and even, but unfortunately, in evaluating the system and your reaction to it, we realized that perhaps the system was doing more harm than good.Many of our users felt that 'influence' wasn't an accurate measure of their actual influence on the site, and sadly, some of our power users were turned off and cut their participation here.
