I'm trying to raise 1.5MM in the next month or so, in a start-up business not related to real estate. Don't even respond if you are not an agressive business-minded investor - you'll likely lose it all. My guess is that if things go well, we/they could easily need another 1.5MM before the year is out, due to expansion needs. Beats me if anyone here has that kind of liquidity/funds. Y'all seem pretty savvy, though. Caveat Emptor! HiJolly
