Ok Note investors I would like to hear what part (percent) of your IRA is invested in the Stock Market and what part (percent) is invested in notes with a Self Directed IRA and your thoughts on diversification vs all your eggs in one basket philosophy?

Seeing people eat nutritiously for me is fulfilling.

If we were beating her up over the commission, my guess is she might have to one of her other investors.I have also had our agent eat costs that might otherwise have gone to us.  

Of course it is set aside for anything damage deposits don't cover, and cap ex, though I'm leaning toward flipping every few years to avoid cap ex, as it will eat you alive if you hold forever.

Wallace, what am I researching, I know its in a flood plane and the insurance will eat any positive cash flow.  

Those can be the best kind because someone else paid for the exiting build out, training employees and weeding through the duds, stabilizing and creating a history of sales over time you can track,etc.Those businesses have already created multi-generational customers from the grandfather,father,and son to eat there.Great business opportunity is generally where the owner is wanting to retire, has to relocate, health problems, partnership split, divorce causes division of assets, bankruptcy sale, etc.You want the business to throw off great cash flow on it's own and be established but get the discount because of external operator issues.

You can get a better price from a PM if you give them a bunch of deals but then all your eggs are in one basket.

using rent credits for sellers concessions is ok Using it to decrease sales price for create a deposit down painter is not OK per Dodd Frank ,  it was creating a financing agreement which makes it difficult to evict the tenant versus having to foreclose  Think of using rent credits for down payments or decreasing sales prices as the same as a contract for deed,  and eating a registered mortgage loan originator to underwrite the buyer 

I would look at the NW as well before I put all my eggs over there.. but if you have to go cheaper rentals that's better than other areas for sure.

Nice to have for recommendations/ places to eat etc- but for booking it's pretty worthless
