We actually are established down in Placencia as well, you may have heard of Little Harvest Caye, Mission Bay Villa, or any of the Gecko properties!

The Rich Dad's company's mission is to boost the public financial education and that mission is a good one.I'm not going to bash him because I've learned a lot from him and from those within his network.

They are not going to let the economy get into a recession, rates will go back down  I thought that too when they started the rate hikes, but now I think the FED is on a mission to get inflation down no matter what.

I dont have many people around me that are on the same mission as me, so sometimes motivation is hard to come by.

You’re not going to mitigate all the same risks as with a fully licensed, and insured contractor and that’s ok, it’s the nature of the class you’re flipping or rehabbing and their associated margins Steve exactly what U have is owners wanting things done as cheap as possible.. most licensed bonded contractors simply are not going to work as cheap as most landlords want them to work for.. so in this case you have an unlicensed handyman doing work.. in our state you cant give a written bid without a license that would be contracting without a license and subject to fine.So what most do is simply micro manage the unlicensed contractor if price is the over riding goal.. if doing it correct with licensed insured bonded folks is the primary mission then the price would be different.. and for those folks at least the ones I work with.. we pay Zero up front. and we send out draws once a month if the job takes more than a month and pay on completed work. plus the contractors have their own accounts and they buy the materials not us.. but out in the mid west and other areas were there is simply not enough margin to hire the more expensive guys this is a necessary evil you have to deal with..  

That is only true for specific properties (mostly high rise condos) in specific neighborhoods (soma, downtown areas), and a couple tech heavy hipstery neighborhoods have also fallen a lot (the mission.) 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the few sellers that are pressured to sell now, and will entertain a discount (although I highly doubt it’ll be a direct correlation with decreased rent of say 30%.)

Their mission may not be aligned with yours, if your trying to aggressively grow.

It must work for others.Where exactly do you place your signs, I remember how strategic and recon mission(ish) I felt when I placed mine.

he's probably going to call back and say yes we could and we didn't need special permission but at least it's been kinda cool like I'm on a mission or something and hey at least I connected with his brother, that was kinda cool
