To me real estate also lends itself toward allowing one to construct separate partnerships for each deal using joint ventures.

Since the house was built in 1978, the bigger problem is asbestos - the drywall joint compound, sheet vinyl flooring, acoustic ceiling exture, and other things are likely to be made with it, so it is really an asbestos job, and that is highly regulated.

Basically I just signed up for the Joint Venture program with Richard Roop who leans towards owner financing using creative strategies and a long term hold approach.

Is there anything I need to have the remaining tenants sign in changing the lease as they are all responsible jointly and severally?

While admitting that their market is FLAT they are literally ON THEIR KNEES THANKING GOD THAT THEY'RE NOT DENVER.

Anybody that might be opposed to this form of big brother intervention recently passed (regardless if you do business and or live in Massachusetts) can voice their opinion in the following ways:- Contact the House Ways and Means @ http://www.mass.gov/legis/comm/h34.htm- Contact the Joint Committee on Financial Services @ http://www.mass.gov/legis/comm/j11.htmAs I see it both as a lending professional & homeowner, we are at a cross-roads---we can either "Speak up" or "forever hold our peace" (and potentially surrender a piece of our freedom and rights of choice).

Or you set up a joint venture (JV) where you take the point initially as the prospect called you.

``This is a common-sense bill that eliminates the double whammy of someone losing their home to foreclosure and then facing an additional tax bill right when they're down on their knees anyway,'' said Representative Dennis Cardozo, a California Democrat who said he represents ``the foreclosure capital of the United States.''

The last time I glanced at an invoice, our cost was $6 and change for single, and $9+- for joint accounts.

I'm happily earning 15% on my money.I'm considering a joint venture opportunity on a L/O of a duplex with another member I meet at a club meeting.A short sale I signed up last summer and the bank accepted was purchased as a rental unit by a club member.I'm putting together a joint venture opportunity with two other investors I met at the club meetings to market for property and sell wholesale in a specific area.
