It's all online.I also have an ING Direct account.

I work with a group o f buyers in MD/DC.

Why leverage any of the properties and simply not go for f & c ownership given my scenario above?

At the moment, 58% RE, 22% Cash and 20% Equities.Equities are maybe 50% mutual funds, the rest individual stocks.I like steady dividend plays like MO, PM, KO, SJI, O etc, but will go out on a limb for riskier bets, like F in the 4's ;>).Was in and out of AAPL several times the past few weeks for some quick gains.Cash position is a little on the low side due to a recent RE purchase.

Jdugan reiterates, with another good example, "f you want the RE out of the S corp without a sale (e.g. gifting to children), the RE comes out of the corp at FMV and gain is recognized."

LOLWhat you want to do is find a C area that is a little bit away from a D or F area but the broker listing for the bank used war zone comps for the BPO.This makes the C property price close to what they are asking for in the F areas.Those are the ones to go after.I just like going after ugly properties in great areas.I stay away from the war zones but have investors that take them on.The more risk the more return you should demand.

The big government lenders (the "F"s, Fannie, Freddie, FHA/HUD), plus large banks use agents exclusively.

Right now it says "seek motivated sellers, not properties" and a 2nd one that has an inspirational quote about do what you do and let everyone else f*^@ off, lol.
