We're looking to purchase a 19-unit multi-family and have a foreign investor (from Spain) who is a very close friend that wants to participate in the investment.

I've also participated in Brandon Turner's "How to Analyze Rental Properties for Maximum Cash Flow" webinar. 

“Assumption refers to the transfer of an existing mortgage obligation from an existing Borrower to the assuming Borrower.”An FHA loan assumption is generally possible-for most FHA loans closed today, the lender’s participation and approval will be required in order to carry out a loan assumption transaction.

However, if we are talking about an IRA LLC, the IRA participant can serve as the manager provided he or she does not receive compensation for performing such managerial services.

If you want to offer your services in exchange for training or the opportunity to participate in a project you'll want to post in the Marketplace.

@David MorganWith respect to contributing to both a 401k including a solo 401k and an IRA, the rules allow for it; however, participation in a solo 401k plan may affect the individual’s ability to deduct a traditional IRA contribution; as a result, you may have to treat it as non-deductible IRA contribution.

I was a part time agent, haven't actually participated in "agenting" for some years, but I found it was better to do rentals for a part time income.

In all circumstances that qualify, the application for the new FHA loan is processed on a case-by-case basis, so a borrower will need to work with his or her participating FHA lender to see what is possible.

Collusion is no longer seen by participants as no big deal out here.

I also belong to an Angel investor group that "syndicates" investments in early stage companies.Not sure what an investor would be willing to pay for a service such as this, but I am sure the return would be higher if we can participate as equity partners in the deal.
