To say that their retail division isn't profitable may or may not be true but it's nice to front and promote other more pedestrian lol lines of business vs being solely known as a BIG DATA engine.

It’s a distinction that’s unfortunately promoted here, which causes some to skimp on origination and loan docs.

I would say YES, and be promoting it to every paranormal expert globally.  

To them, getting convictions, of whatever they are told to go after, gets them promoted. 

Only if a prosecutor takes an interest in the case.From this position, I see that when defaults on mortgages pick up, someone will decide they can get a promotion and good press for the department by chasing forgery, bank fraud, wire fraud, Consumer Protection Act, financial schemes.

Physical, tangible assets are also my cup of tea. 

I'd spend some time trying to figure out how you can get either get a promotion at your full time job, or get into a line of work with a higher earning potential.The simplest path to do more deals with a relatively low barrier to entry would be to rent out your current primary residence, then buy a new primary residence to live in for a few years.

She wants tangible assets (so no DST or REITs).

I was referring to a rather spirited group of individuals who join BP, post one time and only one time, promoting a certain “guru”.

@Ryan Copeland - I’m not affiliated with STS so it’s not self promotion for me to say in response to your question —-check out Avery Carl - @Luke Carl - The Short Term Shop - BiggerPockets Podcast Episode 364The Short Term Shop (STS) also has a great Youtube Channel and Facebook Group focusing on buying and operating Airbnb / VRBO in Smoky Mountains (like Pigeon Forge Tennessee / Seiverville) and Destin Florida areas.
