I have been reading and listening to podcasts about real estate investing for the better part of the last two years and can see clearly why so many people use this as a vehicle to achieve financial freedom.

I’m also on the hunt for other investment properties or other investment vehicles that make sense and dollars.

I've used personal and retirement vehicles to purchase investments.At the end of the day...you need to be comfortable with your strategy.

They are usually only for traffic enforcement or vehicle accident type activities not responding to criminal activity.

Also along with this, the costs of selling are high, so it is not a investment vehicle that lends itself to repositioning quickly or frequently.

A non-profit is the right vehicle.

I have a business partner who will contribute passion and knowledge of the process, but no finances, so we'd love to find another investor looking to work together, (especially another woman as we've kind of conceptualized this as a women's investment vehicle) to supplement the cash I'll have for the deal.

Source documents are underlying documents that show the origination of a transaction, your gas pump receipt is a source document in showing you fuel expenses, a shipping invoice will show when an item was shipped and perhaps received, a parking ticket could show that at a certain time your vehicle was at some location, they are documents that can justify a claim being made.The closing agent can clearly show that there were no contractual obligations or other agreements made that would be applicable to that transaction.It depends on your settlement instructions, is there some disclosure or declaration made that no other property other than real property is involved, anything as to no other credits, allowances or other financial arrangements have been made or are expected to be after settlement?

At some level are you just trading one income vehicle for another with the added bonus that you get the asset back (albeit there is a risk if the property gets trashed due to bad management) if the lender flakes out (and of course the hassle of calling the note).Hopefully some of the experienced private money lenders will jump in on this one, as it is a fantastic question.

History has shown that real estate has been a major vehicle for building wealth throughout time.
