Any help is much appreciated thanks buddy. 

A buddy of mine on the East Coast was looking for part-time work, so I hired him to look up property owners and call them.

My other buddy was crash fire rescue out in 29palms.

Good luck buddy!

He’s going to be nothing but trouble down the road .inherited tenants suck ...The only thIng worse Is inherIted tenants that are family or buddies Of the seller .

I have a buddy who is just finishing DC school and setting up a practice.  

A buddy who is 'making 20-30% returns' in direct Real estate investing is not giving you audited financial returns showing you that.There are good and bad REITS just like there are good and bad investment properties you can buy and there is also a certain amount of luck with each.

@Sean Beksinski thanks buddy, but no honestly there's many more experienced pros on here then me I just happen to be like a sponge with information and not scared to apply it.

that works you could do a basic LLC and have uneven distributions which is the major benefit to the LLC.. the LLC lends the money you have 2 or 3 buddies as members.. you the sponsor be the managing member.. then cut the pie however you like.. when I had my shops I did this through guidance lines with my banks.. we put the cash out for the loan.. then back filled and pulled from our guidance line.. for every 1 mil in cash we had we got 4 mil from the bank..

Long story short, my mother lost her house, my father took over, and when he rented it to me and my buddy’s we went haywire and tried to remodel the place.
