And if we are paying high interest to the angel, they're really no better than hard money and I'd rather not risk the relationship.Interested to hear your success stories and innovative ways to possibly structure and propose a deal.  

Now, 10 years late, the youngest baby boomers are turning 60 and the ones who are retirement age have been slow to leave the workforce.There will be an impact when the baby boomer generation fully retires and again when they pass away, but I don't know if that means despair for those of us remaining.With the technological changes where the very core of how we work is changing (people working remote for example and less reliance on a motor vehicle), I think it's really hard to predict doom and gloom.Yes, we will have recessions, but I doubt anything close to what compares to 2008. 

It is the conversations that educate us, innovate us, and make us. 

Top technology.  

I've considered some technological improvements for a laundry as well, but I'd need some start up scratch for patents, and development, which could also come from the basic laundromat acquired. 

If you take advantage of new technologies: thermal mass electric resistance heating elements or electric air-2-air or ground-2-air heat pumps (especially ductless units with split heads), electricity can actually be cheaper.We have no oil heated properties and whenever we pursue a property heated with oil, we determine the cost of converting it to natural gas or electric and bake it into our analysis.  

Technology and discounted model like Redfin yet have been profitable either. 

@Nicholas PatrickIf you are passionate about starting an innovative tech company and know that you are going to build the next Apple, Facebook, Microsoft.... my answer would be "Perhaps you should drop out", however if you are dropping out to become a full time investor... my answer would be "Absolutely Not?"

@Leonid Kozlov , you'll meet Brandon and see David at the Summit in Nov too.
