Hey Josh, why didn't you name it deeper pockets?

It also sounds like most of you agree that it doesn't matter how good my writing is or how successful I have been if no one knows who I am.I agree with these points, and they are appreciated, but I still don't think writing a book and giving it away for free is the answer.What about this (someone may want to ping Josh on this one):Since I'm really not doing this for the money, and mainly just to see if anyone thinks my writing is any good, what if I were to have the BP community help publicize this book, and any money raised from my initial publication would be donated to BP.

I like Josh's outburst, "That's crap!

Perhaps I'm wrong Josh, but what I am getting out of the last several comments is that some members here (Mitch just said it best in his last post) are tired of other members making an immediate judgement of a "analize this deal" question using the 50% rule.If it does not pass it, that investment is immediately labeled a bad investment, which just may not be true.

The Note Investor Summit was put in by two guys who are students of Gordon Moss, of "Performance Anxiety" fame (book on non-performing paper).My understanding is they are good marketers. 

Josh Allen and David Wadman are the reps I've been speaking with.I was looking into this as it seems like cheap money based on what they state.

Jeff Armstrong use to publish a few books on the topic.And, of course, Gordon Moss has a little intro book ('Performance Anxiety') and I think he still offers a video training  course.

@Tim Gordon The prior landlords all gave me the blanket boilerplate "We cannot comment on the tenant but the rent was paid on time."

Let me stay on point with being encouraging, their was an excellent TED talk by Josh Kaufman on learning new subjects.
