However, at the beginning I didn't really have much to contribute. 

have laundry room on each floor and eating area and set of rules in kitchen area. met a lot of travelers who stay at hostels and they have setup like that. there was one where they had a weekly dinner and had to contribute towards food prep and cooking to keep cost down and for laundry they had washer/dryers. 

An additional benefit seems to be the ability to pay my kids out of the LLC so that they'd also have some earned income in order to start contributing to their own retirement accounts. 

I am excited to contribute to this forum and to continue to learn.  

Here you can turn one year's tax return (or one year's contribution to a self-directed IRA) into a down payment on a new rental property. 

Given the opportunity, I’m confident that I have the experience and personable disposition to contribute to the success.

Anyone who contributes will receive a free copy of my research after I'm done with it.

Thanks for reading and I hope I'll make some sort of contribution to the forums someday.

The contributing elements do not exist today, that were prevalent '07-'08.

I'd like to think those people who are more successful and experienced would rather help someone who's trying to get to that next level.That being said, I'd like to just move forward, and if anyone has something helpful to contribute, I look forward to hearing from you!
