Being The Middle Man

[Trevor Brown]

Hello BP. I’m sorry if this is in the wrong topic category, I was not sure where else to put this. I have a business proposition I would like to pursue with a real estate investor and the owner of my work. Last month we were having an annual meeting about how profits are up, expenses, new jobs within the facility and whatever else they rambled on about for an hour or so (I started zoning out). During this meeting I happened to tune back in when they mentioned that 40% of all profits were going to taxes. I instantly thought to myself, “couldn’t they invest some of the profits into real estate in order to gain a return and take advantage of the tax breaks that come with it?” Then it clicked, what if I were to bring together a reputable investor that I know with decades of experience and 80+ properties and the owner of our multimillion dollar company in order to use the taxed dollars as capital for the investor while benefiting from the tax breaks, creating in (at least in my head) a win/win situation, and for my take a small percentage of the profits for being “the middleman”. Am I in over my head? I would love for this to be a reality but I am only 21 years old, have yet to purchase a property for myself and am not a business man or professional. ANY advice on how I can make this happen, big or small would be more than greatly appreciated! Thankyou to anyone who responds!!
