It is in very rough shape, debt is very comparable to value which is why realtor isn’t wasting her time (no fat left to pay her commission)..

So I am still at the save and learn stage...books, podcasts, even occasionally do some side work with a local investor to get some hands on experience, while trying to trim fat and stash money.

1) I'd start with Gene Trowbridge (securities attorney) book "It's a whole new world".

: The how-to book of syndicated investment real estate by Gene Trowbridge

You can do so through books, Gene Trowbridge wrote a great book "It's a whole new world", plus many others recommend Joe Fearless book on Syndication.

@Armin Nazarinia - that was a fat finger - I bought it for 227k, and I didn't realize this was going as a post - I thought it would just be on my profile.

Maybe they're not including the gardener coz they expect you'll mow the lawn yourself (fat chance!)

I think your best bet would be to consult with an SEC attorney like Jillian Sidoti, Gene Trowbridge or Kim Taylor. 

I also want to eat a lot but not get fat. :)If you have a single-member LLC and deposit your income in it - there's no trick to pulling money out.

I recommend Gene Trowbridge's book 'It's a Whole New Business'.
