    Thoughts on Whole Life Insurance as an alternative to banking?

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Agreed. Just read a pretty telling article that backs what you're saying. The upfront fees kill your IRR. The article I saw suggested that the cash balance at the end of year 7 was about 50% of what he paid in premium...that doesn't seem like a sound investment to me! Not to hijack the thread...

    Thoughts on Whole Life Insurance as an alternative to banking?

    INVESTING HOT! 
    This is a very interesting concept to me as I continue down the path of financial freedom... To set the stage here, I am about one thing and one thing only...finding the most efficient way for me to earn the highest risk-adjusted return on my capital possible. I get what @JScott is saying...

    Idea... Feedback?

    IDEA 
    Being an analyst that studies payments companies for his day job, I can confirm that the biggest hurdle is going to be the transaction costs for each payment. Both SQ and PYPL charge 2.9% + 30c for every transaction. So on a $5 transaction, the performer would only be earning $4.55. That's...

    I've ran into this issue time and time again. My why has consistently not been strong enough to overcome the excuses that came up in my mind. That all changed when I got married. Taking of for my Honeymoon was a PAIN IN MY A*S. My Honeymoon was beyond amazing and made me really realize just how...

    Business Structure & Personal LLC Questions

    Hi all-- So I was with my business partners earlier today. These guys have some family money and grew up in Fastlaneish households. Over the years, their parents have invested in multiple real estate syndicated deals as well as business startups (think QSR type of businesses) and we were...

    What to do while app is been built?

    EXECUTION 
    So I started tweeting about the industry my app falls into (nothing related to the app quite yet), and adding highly viewed #s. Eventually I grabbed some followers. I also bought around 3,000 followers to make my profile look like I have some traction already. I try to tweet 3-5x per day. Again...

    What to do while app is been built?

    EXECUTION 
    I am in the exact same situation right now. Its taking my app a while to be built, and unsure what to do with my time. I've created a Twitter account and have started building up an audience, and have started putting together an initial e-mail list, but that's about it. I'm going to spend some...

    Hey @James A , thanks for doing this! I was certainly a happy customer of Feedbackz for about a year, at which point I got out of the FBA game. I've been postponing learning a coding language for about a year now (I know, shame on me) as it just sounds like you need to learn A LOT to get...

    Building an Unconventional Real Estate Business

    EXECUTION 
    Hey @NYCGoblin and thanks for the reply. This has been a concern of mine as well but the more I read about it, the less likely I think the bill will be signed. Will I be right? Who knows, but for now the listings are happening and there are people in the management game here in NYC. Worst case...

    EXECUTION 
    Update here. Had some hiccups since I last came to the forum. The 1 client I was referring to didn't end up closing. He rented our his apartment as a short-term rental and due to the legality surrounding it in NYC he decided to just sell. That said, the SHOW GOES ON! My website has been...

    EXECUTION 
    So I'm taking next steps here. Pivoting (for now) from the above post. Given the resources I have in my GF's father, I'll be starting a property management company. I won't get into specifics yet, but I have about 500 or so leads right now that I will be mailing professional letters to...
