Nope, I see what you are getting at. I would have to be a pretty confident in the stock performance to do that kind of thing though.

No I meant I can talk to people to invest in real estate with me; i.e. it's a joint venture between them and me where they fund the purchase and I do the management and stuff, and at the end we both walk away with something. I know a lot of people who used this method to get their # of properties up past a few dozen into the hundreds.

To do that with stocks would be much more difficult I think.
