Resolved Question: Which city would you like to host the 2016 olympics?
Chicago. A beautiful, compact games on the lakefront(that can be mistaken for an ocean) with the beautiful skyline as the backdrop. The village is situated so that 90 percent of athletes are 15 mins away from their competition venues.. and 10 mins away from bustling downtown.. with beautiful parks, dining, museums and culture. A good use of existing facilities, while also creating new stadiums that will be downgraded after the games to be used for chicagoans..unlike the “white elephant”stadiums that go unused. Chicagoans are known for their love of sports. It has the two most influential people in OBama and Oprah, supporting the game. Chicago has crime, but is Rarely seen in the downtown area and is not as bad as rio. Chicago has more convention space than any other city except for Las Vegas. More than double the amount of hotel space required by the IOC and at a lesser price than the other candiate cities.It has made a 2.5 billion dollar guarentee for the games, it needs to be noted that NO american city has ever lost money for an olympic games. Chicago is home to dining, sports, culture, music, and pride. I think it will make a fantastic city to host. I think many chicagoans fear that they will be footed with the bill, but the games give chicago a chance to make a big step on the world stage. As chicago city planner Daniel Burnham famously said “Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir mens blood,.. Make big plans..aim high in hope and work”

Resolved Question: Can I afford to buy a single family home in Northern Virginia?
I currently have a 1 bed 1 bath condo in northern va (lakefront/hardwood floor throughout): mortgage $137,695, purchase price in 2005 was $321,000, currently assessed at $253,850. My development now is full of bank owned/short sale condos so prices are going down. A comp same model condo is asking $259,000 but no lakefront and carpeted, otherwise all same upgrades as me. Single family homes in a good neighborhoods as low as $449,000 and up to $500,000’s is what I’m looking at (prices not seen here in a while). Me: gross income: $71,000, take home (net) a month: $3,168, liquid cash $8,000, no debt other than my mortgage (pay credit card in full each month and own my car), credit rating is excellent and I am a conservative guy by nature. I was planning on selling condo with hope of pulling out $100,000 to put into new place. Can I afford to buy a single family home on my own with these numbers and situation? Thanks.

Resolved Question: Does anyone know any high net worth investor interested in a luxury real estate project joint venture good ROI?
My partner and I are seeking a high net worth investor to bankroll our high-end lakefront spec home project. We are looking for an individual who has capital available to invest and is interested in a joint venture. My partner and I are having to regroup. We had a funding partner for our project, and we were going to begin soon. However, our funding partner just found out that he has a serious illness and is having to withdraw from the project. So, we are now in need of another funding partner.

We are seeking $7 million to fund acquisition of 3 lakefront lots on Lake Burton ( North East Georgia Mountains) and to fund construction of 3 spec homes. We have currently negotiated to purchase three lakefront lots, have obtained all the permits and approvals, have chosen floor plans, have formed a real estate holding company, and simply need the capital to begin. Time is of the essence for us, and we are offering 40% on a JV. (We are seeking 100% funding) The officers of LCI (real estate holding company) bring together the expert experience of marketing and constructing residential real estate in the north Georgia mountains. We plan to construct and sell three high-end residential homes during the year of 2008/2009 and create a return of approximately 75% or approximately $5,000,000.00. This is a very simple and rather turn key investment that is secured by some of the most desired real estate in Georgia. Also, 2007 was a record breaking year for home and lot sales on Lake Burton despite other real estate market crashes, and 2008 is looking even stronger. We will NOT pay any upfront fees and we are NOT looking for a loan. We are simply looking for an individual investor who has the available liquid capital to partner with.
