If it were me I'd stay away from partnerships or joint ventures until you really knew someone after doing business with them awhile.I'm curious what kinds of margins these deals have?

Joshua Dorkin - the courses I've taken haven't been related to wholesaling, but include John Schaub on rentals, Bill Bronchik on partnering, and Susan Lassiter-Lyons on joint venturing.My previous investing career consisted of rentals - three-plex, duplex, single fam, mobile home.

I'm thinking NNN (fast food joints, banks, drug stores), self-storage, strip malls.

I also had a joint acct with my husband on 2 credit cards which he never paid on time ( i wasnt aware he did this)What is the first thing i need to do to fix this?

just buy the home jointly with the investor (who is a close friend) and then have a separate promissory note that says details our terms on the side?

So you'll have to apply jointly with her.

It's amazing to me that you can get life without parole for stealing a bike, but the guy who ran Countrywide was able to bring the FDIC to its knees without even paying a penalty out of his own pocket, much less spending a day in jail.

I think Goose Creek and North Charleston would be good rental markets as there is a both a USAF and a Navy base (well now they are called joint bases but you know what I mean) within 10 minutes of each other.

He has a joint account outside of this portfolio with the same institution that is labeled/coded as the same "Prime Money Market Fund" that is just a regular MM that can be withdrawn at any time.

So, IMO for someone to sit in some title loan joint and actually make loans over the counter, without formal education in the lending arena, you'd need about 6 months to a year of experience before any manager would be rubber stamping you loans, more like a year to get a rubber stamp approval.My time lines are based on repetitious business, not doing some deal twice a month, but more like ten deals a day, 5 days a week. 200 deals a month, that means you have passed by about 1,200 loans before you have seen enough deals to guide yourself through the maze of lending at that level.RE lending will take a couple years really to be a good originator, that is not underwriting loans but walking the loan through the required process and address issues of concern, like title or appraisal issues.
