Below is one of many emails I received from attorneys specializing in Curative Title. This is the caliber of professionals I want to connect with our Summer School Students. "Ellis, I am a Real Estate Attorney / Curative Title Specialist, with the “elevator” pitch: “I work on complex and commercial real estate with a focus of curing title and trust tangles. Call me when you have a problem. Call me when you don’t even know the question. I’ve either seen it, done it, solved it, or know who has.” My whole practice has been in real estate, starting prior to law school when I was a full-time title researcher. I’ve either examined, reviewed or opined on 1000’s of titles. My practice also includes representing commercial buyers and sellers and meeting their residential needs as well as consulting for other law firms engaged in title litigation and need a report and/or co-counsel from someone who can research the issue and help them frame and argue the issues. I’ve filed specific court-requested litigation title reports (here in MA sometime referred to as Land Court Examiner Reports or Expert Disclosure, depending on the Court’s request) and I’ve testified as an expert witness. Please call and let me know how I may help you." Lisa"

Hopefully this is helpful for California investors

After speaking with other Skool experts. I was encouraged to charge a minimum monthly membership to discourage spammers from joining our community. Starting August 1st I will have a minimum monthly membership. I am going to make sure I overdeliver value regardless of your level of commitment. The monthly price will be determined soon.

The "punch card" is a famous mental model popularized by Munger and Buffett. It suggests investors imagine they only have a 20-slot punch card for their entire lifetime, where each punch represents a single investment. Once all 20 punches are used, no more investments can ever be made. The Core Philosophy The core purpose of this concept is to force extreme discipline, patience, and conviction. If you are strictly limited to just 20 investments over your entire life, you are far less likely to chase fads, speculate, or make impulsive trades. Key behavioral tenets of the punch card philosophy include: - Hyper-selectivity: You only "punch" a slot for a business you deeply understand, where you can easily predict its economics for the next 10 to 20 years - High conviction: When a truly great opportunity presents itself, you bet big rather than diversifying into dozens of mediocre ideas. - Long-term holding: You aim to buy businesses you never have to make a decision on again, letting your top investments compound over decades. Now how would you apply this to your Real Estate Transactions? The Munger/Buffett Approach to Action Munger frequently emphasized that wealth isn't made by constant buying and selling. Instead, it comes from identifying a handful of truly exceptional opportunities, going "all in," and remaining intensely patient. In a world that thrives on the excitement of constant financial activity, the punch card serves as a forcing function to sit tight and let time do the heavy lifting. You can explore more of Munger's wisdom in his iconic USC commencement speech.
