Erdek from that other thread should be followed; don't give a private loan without engaging an attorney like John who is familiar with how to protect the lender.

Working on educating ourselves, building a network, and learning about our local market (along with some potential out-of-state turnkey options).Looking forward to engaging with the BP community! 

Trust the numbers and don't force them.In similar situations I let it go, tell the seller my last offer stands then let it sit for another month or six weeks before sending them a revised offer and re-engaging with them.Good luck, trust the numbers, they won't lead you astray but your emotions will.

You already received a great list from @David ThompsonHere's an abbreviated list from me: How long have you been actively engaged in real estate investing?

I look forward to engaging with you all in this forum & learning from our discussions.

A full description can found in the RCW itself and the subsequent Washington State Supreme Court Opinion on the Washington State Legislature website and linked below.Attorneys tell us "the penalty for engaging in a "pattern" of equity skimming that is set forth in the Distressed Property Conveyances Act is found in RCW 9.94A, as a Class B Felony, Level II offense", which can include confinement in a state correctional institution, fine or both.

Great partnerships are built on open and transparent terms of engagement that are beneficial to both sides.

If you're looking to make connections, I would highly recommend continuing to engage here on the forums.

Wholesaling scares the heck out of me; is that a legal process that a licensed agent can engage in? 

I'm currently engaged, and love the idea of making this small home livable again, and living in it with my future wife (wedding late next year).
