The frequent travelers that like to do repeat business, cherish those basic things.

The new people don't know and they are the business target.

as one who grew up in the land business brokering land in Napa Sonoma Lake Mendo and humbolt counties..

i invest via 50/50 partnerships. i find/coordinate/manage the deal, and my partner brings the capital to the deal & approves large expenses. on their end, it's just about as hands-off as investing in a syndication, but they get to be one of just two main 50/50 decision-makers. and when there are just two parties involved in a deal like this, vs it being diluted across tons of investors, i find it's also possible for the capital partner to see much higher returns. when it comes to teaming up in real estate i'm much more relationship-based and less transactional. i'd rather do fewer very high-quality, carefully selected deals, each with just one capital partner, so that i can really serve that person's best interests and get us amazing results, vs. doing a bunch of diluted deals. i also feel a lot of syndicators out there are newer to the game, lack experience, haven't used their own money enough, and don't use their investors' dollars with enough caution. it gives the high quality syndicators a bad name.

As far as LLC structures and tax strategies you should find a CPA who has experience with real estate and small business.  

Regarding finding discounted deals......That is the reason why I started a wholesaling business. 

Spend more than half of your total working hours in an RE business in which you materially participate.2.

First of all, do not take any money out of the business, because you will need it.

Of course we all have to start somewhere but I tell everyone I do business with regardless if it's with me or someone else I always recommend them to build a portfolio.

The local economy seems to be centered around these types of businesses.
