What happens if you inherited the longevity gene from your great aunt Mary, and you live to be one hundred years old?

Gene, what you say is true, but my understanging is, that you can use your own dba, or llc to under, and as for the leads they are consitant as long as your with the franchise, plus it's all a numbers game.

@Donald Hathaway my niche is apartments, specifically 5-80 units so I l read books on apartments (1) ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy2) Wheelbarrow Profits by Jake Stenziano & Gino Barbaro3) Multi-Family Millions by David Lindhal4) The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings by Steve Burgess5) It's A Whole New Business by Gene Trowbridge6) The Richest Man in Babylon by George S.

So it's "cooking the books", mutating a real estate investment to get the pre-selected result of S&P doing better. 

Hey Gene, I would consider that normal wear and tear for sure.

My point is to teach yourself all the essentials that they are not going to teach you in Gen ed or College.Im not saying college is not great for your personal growth, but there are plenty of successful wealthy people in Real Estate that never finished college because what they teach is not necessarily beneficial to your GROWTH.Lastly im going to close it out on the fact that, no matter how educated you get never get ahead of yourself, never act like you know it all.

My partner Gene Trowbridge wrote the textbook (its commonly mentioned in some other threads): https://www.amazon.com/Its-Whole-New-Business-how/...Otherwise, the best thing you can do for your first syndication is find a coach or an experienced syndicator to partner with, bring money to the deal, and help you figure out all the kinks.

Thanks @Gene Hacker .
