Hey all, I currently have a new home being built that I would like to keep in my personal portfolio.

Hope is a table at the casino. 

There is an amount that you can distribute from an IRA account to purchase a personal residence.You then might be able to turn the personal residence into an investment property.Best of luck.

For example, a person can go to  a 10 —-13 week school for dental assistant… finish the course get a certificate and have an immediate job making somewhere around 43k plus.. yeah I know it’s not a ton of money, but it’s a good base especially for folks that don’t want to go to college.

@Jorge Liang Closing the loan under your personal name saves about $1,200 in lender points, but transferring the title to an LLC later comes with costs and risks.

This is messy, but try to bear with me:I have two Stessa Accounts: one for my personal properties(account "S1") and another for properties held in a partnership (account "S2"). 

I'd love to hear different perspectives and insights on this.On a personal note, I'm a husband and father of two.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Now, should you decide to enter into a real estate transaction WITHOUT a licensed agent, one should be mindful to not get unpset should that person get scammed in the real estate purchase or sell transaction.

I'm glad you have an umbrella policy for the first 10, but when you own them in your own name, a loss in one property can spill over to the others, and personally.
