If you learn everything about business, and you decide to work for someone, you will get more promoted like crazy, no matter how many degrees people above you have.

looking for thoughts on the following:i have an opportunity to get premium phone/cable service (i.e. all the bells and whistles) for a multi-family rental unit at a promotional rate. it seems that if i split the cost of the normal rate (rate that will be charged after a year) among the units of the property each unit would be paying a low cost for premium cable/phone that i am pretty sure tenants would otherwise not even consider purchasing (because of the outrageous costs). this would be a way to make a few extra bucks a month, and i would offer it as an option rather than build it into the lease (as rent including cable/phone service).

MartineCall 3 local to the property REIA club presidents ask them for a referral for the best real estate attorneyGood luckPaul

thanks for the referral!

Get some real information on your area, what are the actual awards, then assess the real risks, not imagined so that we run off with paranoid thoughts and spend more money feeding those that promote this parinoia of legal liability.

Ask for your inspector's referral!

Between referrals, recommendations and due diligence, I'm pretty confident that I can remove unethical and idiotic partners early on (or at the very lease, be knowledgeable about their limitations).You're also correct that I do have a sense of 'needing' to invest in REI.

If you want a referral for an agent in those regions, feel free to drop me a PM, and if I know someone in the region you are looking at, I'll respond with the info.

So far, it seems like a dream match--a chance meeting, he's actually walking the walk--not promoting a book or course--he's been as helpful and nice as everyone on this forum has been so far.
