@ BrianL I'm not asking you for your money nor do I want it. if you can get off your high horse for a second and be helpfull i'd Appreciate it. If not please go somewhere else

@Nicole thanks for the great instructions and for understanding What I'm trying to accomplish that's exactly what I needed (an answer to my question)! Thanks to everyone else for their input. Im at work now so I will get into this with a little more depth this evening or in the morning. 

Thanks again

@George Maka Thanks for your advice, and I hear what you're saying. I do however want to build a business and structure it from the ground up, in hopes of it being successful. I'm not a real big fan of the saying "find a great deal and the money will find you". I would rather have a plan and  my finances in order so I can really focus on finding those great deals, without having to feel desperate or stressed.

Thank you for your recommendations I will certainly look into them.

Hello all, I wanted to revise my subject title. I didn't like the way it came across.

I am getting ready to launch my REI business, and I want to put together a professional looking packet to get investors on board. I want to include my business plan (finished), what my company is about and wants to achieve, how the company could benefit the investor, and ROI's and other projections. I have some colleagues and acquaintances that I would like to approach with this, and really want to take the time to make these packets as informative and professional as I can. I do not have a track record yet and I know this is crucial to seeking out investors, but I feel since I know a few of these people, and if I do it right, this could be successful.

So, my question is...Does anybody have any advice, links to blogs, articles etc..to help me better prepare for this project?

Thank You

@Shawn Thom Thank you that is very helpful. It seems like $35 a month would be well worth it just for contracts and legal questions in our business.

Hi all,

I am wondering if anybody out there uses Legal Shield for their REI business? I was thinking of using them for putting together and reviewing contracts, legal advice, etc... I believe they charge somewhere around $20.00 a month and that includes a certain number of hours of representation, if needed.

Than You

@Anson Young would you mind giving me your lenders contact information?

Thanks

@Roy N. I have looked into co-ownership but the banks have told me that they look at the credit score of who is going to occupy the home. Is co-ownership the same as tenants in common?

@Michelle Y. Thank you. The problem is that my family member would not qualify as a first time home buyer and he would not meet the owner occupancy requirement, and our credit is just a little too low at this time. I will definitely keep everybody posted thanks for your time.

@Tom Goans Thank you. Our landlord is a great guy and unfortunately he has cancer. We have spoke with him about rent to own and owner financing and he is reluctant only because he does not know how much longer he has, which I understand.

@Anson Young Thank you. The last I checked it was around 585 (I was a little reckless in my younger years) and I am trying hard to repair it.

Thanks to everyone for their time.
