I was told by a lender that if I wanted to put 10 under my name and 10 under my wife's name, we would have to sign a Free Trader Agreement - in basic terms, a document prepared for the purposes of waiving each party’s rights as to real estate and creating a right to obtain real estate independent of the other.

Not all painters and carpet installers are stoners--just an observation that over my 12 year career of doing this, I have found these 2 traders to rank 1 and 2 though. 

Mind you I present this deal with a POS inspection and the lowest comp is 15k above what I’m asking for. Ex

I started a Partnership with some friends and relatives who mainly are Stock Market Investors.The purpose of the Partnership, in this case an LLC, was to purchase a $1.5 Million 3 Family in Brooklyn, All Cash.3 months ago I told everyone to pull out their cash in the Stock Market.They completed their stock sales a few weeks ahead of the Market falling off the cliff.I then closed on the 3 Family at a very good Price, collected a $40k buyer's commission as I am also the Buyer Broker, and just finished renting the 3 Units, signing the last apt lease in a few days, getting approximately $6k per month in Cash Flow for the 1st year.Not only that, I am securing an Investment HELOC at a 50% LTV, so roughly $750k, which I can use to investing in the Stock Market.I had already anticipated the fall of the Market as the inevitable Corporate Tax breaks had to wear off eventually.There just isn't enough consumers that benefited, in my opinion, therefore Corporate Revenues cannot increase and profits has to either stabilize as the max Corporate Tax breaks levels off.Really, only one way to go.I am anticipating the decline to last for a while.As an Trader, however, I will eventually buy long term growth stocks but also hedge it with PUTs in case I get in a bit too early.My friends and relatives are ecstatic as they probably saved a decline in their net worth by as much as a $1 Million.BTW, there is an old saying, "It is easier to make the 1st Million than it is to keep the 1st Million."

However, no person on this forum really knows your investment plan, so if this deal fits into your predefined real estate investing plan, then go for it, especially if you know developers prefer two lots over one.Often time I see this behavior with stock traders.

Since I started my investing journey strictly thru stock and forex market, I think retirement accounts are a waste.

Make twice as much as the median income in my area due to so many investment vessels (stock market, FOREX, RE, etc).

What are you seeing out there in your market I actually minor in economics and an investor in Stock and FOREX (currency, basically like stock market but instead of companies, you invest in countries). 

You might refer to what happens when others come up with creative schemes to manipulate the market (other people or institutions buying):https://www.marketwatch.com/story/two-traders-arrested-over-alleged-manipulation-of-more-than-2000-stocks-2016-12-12

Worse in the FOREX market.
