    50K cash right now to invest. What to do?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Not sure I follow. You don't have $50k to invest at the moment, but if you did you would market to investors to provide them capital? Are you brokering investment money? It's prudent to point out that there is a significant risk involved in these types of deals as well. Developers are some...

    Student Loan Law Firm

    EXECUTION 
    Like Runum i've never heard of a discharge either. Don't you have to get a special exception in bankruptcy court to have a shot at this? It's an interesting concept if laws changed and you created a network of attorneys across the country. Take a small piece of all of their action and it...

    $700 Million Tenured CRE Pro seeks to "Fastlane" existing biz

    REAL ESTATE 
    That's pretty much the bottom line on making it big in real estate. As you know it's very difficult to truly systematize deal flow since deals rarely look alike. Hiring some good people as you grow will help your free time tremendously and let you focus on big picture items. Sounds like...

    What motivates you in life?

    MINDSET 
    This will sound stupid, but flip flops. I've spent nearly every day for the past ten years in shorts and flip flops ( minus when I have meetings that I must look presentable in ) working on my own terms. My motivation is essentially to spend the rest of my life doing the same so in a sense...

    How do you Operate after a business failure?

    FTE 
    Did you actually conduct any business under your current llc? I'd just re-use it if possible to avoid the nuisances that go along with forming a new one, ein, bank accounts, etc.

    Need help getting started

    REAL ESTATE 
    Different banks will give you different requirements so talk to several and you'll likely find one to count your rental income as income once a certain amount of time passes. Sell the house you bought and rehabbed. Without capital it's very hard to play the rehab or rental game. You could...

    Giving Back

    PEOPLE 
    We give pretty generously both monetarily and especially with time by serving on advisory boards, etc. On the smaller charitable side we support some local no kill shelters and always seem to have at least extra foster dog running around the house. My wife follows the philosophy of we should...

    [INSIDER CALL] Raising Money for your Project

    HOT! 
    Phenomenal call. Thanks for taking time out of your day to do it Zen. Awesome to get a glimpse into the mind of someone who does everything with scale. Took your advice and signed up with a local toastmasters group immediately after the call.

    Houston we have a problem...

    IMPORTANT! 
    Very unfortunate situation from all angles, but someone always finds a way to violate the honor system. It’s sobering to think that if you torpedo this forum there will likely be millions ( tens of millions? ) of dollars in opportunities lost from entrepreneurs who were never able to learn from...

    One Reason I Love My Wife

    MINDSET 
    There is so much truth to this that it is hard to state just how impactful and important it is. I've been kicked in the nuts a ton the past several years and my wife continues to help me get up, move on, and provide perspective. You are a very lucky guy.

    Update on the Mentor Group & Free Real Estate Book

    REAL ESTATE 
    Are you leading with a pitch or are you striking up normal conversation with the investors? I've been approached by a lot of wholesalers at auctions and i've usually found the ones who aren't obviously trying to pitch me anything to be the ones I am most receptive to. Right or wrong most...

    Do You Do This?

    When a goal or idea pops into my head i'll email it to my evernote account. If it still makes sense in my head when I review it i'll break it down into tasks on how to achieve that goal. I've got so much ADD that if it wasn't written down somewhere it would never get done.

    Paleo Lifestyle

    HOT! 
    Agreed. A lifting regimen is the gift that keeps on giving. The more muscle you build the higher your basal metabolic rate will be. It's essentially the same concept as generating passive income, except it's passive calorie burn. Lifting weights and dietary adjustments should really be step...

    Is getting here easy?

    EXECUTION 
    As many other have already said most of what you see is one big house of cards just waiting to crumble the moment someone loses a job or has some other fiscal road bump. According to the 2010 census the top 1% earned $370k and above in annual income, yet if you look at the general population...
