One of the first precepts students learn in medical school is primum non nocere: "First, do no harm." Similarly, my first order of business in real estate is: Never lose my investors a single dollar.

My goal is to keep that true whether I invest for another 10 years or another 50. So I work diligently to make sure my interests are aligned with those of my investors. That means structuring deals where the only way for me to make a profit is by making profits for them.

By putting your investors first when you structure your deals, you’ll never lack funds for the good deals you find - because your investors will think of you first whenever they look to put more of their money to work.

[Ed. Note: The economy stinks - but it's a buyer's market. And once you discover how to find the best deals in the best markets, you can make an absolute fortune - for yourself and your investors. Real estate expert Justin Ford can show you exactly how to do that, no matter what condition your local market is in.]
