Marketing will be the foundation of your success (or failure) as DEALFLOW is king. 

It's a simple online process and is free but there's a fine for failure to register. 

Lee,Until recently, I would agree with you, but after walking through the setup another local investor has operating {discussed in my post above}, renting out stations to individual stylist appears to be a win/win setup:- the stylist keeps more of their earnings than if they were renting a chair in a traditional salon (which usually means paying a percentage of your billings to the house);- the landlord brings in more rent than if s/he were letting the entire space to a single {salon} business.In addition, the landlord has mitigated the risk associated with a single "salon" tenant failing {salons have a high failure rate, even for a small business}.  

I know stress is good to some extent, as it raises the fear of failure, but I am very confident in the business and am concerned that with my lack of capital I may miss some important opportunities in my market. 

That puts the failure to act on the manager.

It is better paying that price at lower investment levels where you can tolerate failures.

Tell them (in a signed writing) you won't sue them for breach of K/ damages/ losses for their failure to complete the job in a reasonable time (inferred since you have no express date) in exchange for their promise not to lien or sue you.

Unless these sell in the next 7 days, I'm looking at two cancelled contracts and two failures right out of the gate.

The 3rd partner is the reason for the current failure of the development.

I really want to know what kind of success stories, as well as failures people have endured using their self-directed retirement plans to invest in real estate.If you don't want to post your responses online, please go ahead and private message me with your response, and I can contact you off-line.Please be as specific as you can so that others and myself no how you and many other people have used retirement plans to fund real estate transactions, and what kind of profit or loss they have endured or experienced as a result.
