If you are on the border of a certain credit score to get better loan rates, you can use MyFico to track your score.

You have to observe corporate formalities with minutes etc on all major transactions you do.

In my opinion, that borders very heavily on violating fair housing laws because sex is a protected class.

I would ensure you get a formal partner agreement that spells out roles/responsibilities, timing, taxes (capital gains), cash flow, etc.

Get stuff within 10min or so of the border and I am very interested (say like Nashua, Hudson, Pelham, Salem...).Good luck!

I think I've been signed up for a while and searched questions here and there, but I wanted to formally introduce myself in an effort to better connect with everyone online and offline.

I have roughly 5 years of formal work experience with different aspects of default real estate, although most of it is with paralegal style work, as I was at a default-based law firm and now am working at a bank in different servicing aspects of foreclosure (residential).Investing in default properties has always interested me, so I may begin there, but I'm here at BP to learn as much as possible to make my first deal a successful one.

You may find it difficult to sell, unless you rehab it for another investor that focuses on renting properties in war/border zones.

So you do suggest that after the property is formally purchased to turn the vesting over to my own company, albeit unformed prior to the actual acquisition?

Two areas I like are the north end, near Sacred Heart Univ / Trumbull Mall and Black Rock, bordering Fairfield.
