I am looking to start wholesaling and really understand that and how it works before venturing into other areas of real estate investing.

Good luck in your venture and if you ever need anything around Lejeune let me know.Semper

A question about managing from overseas was posed directly to me, but I will post it here in case it is helpful to someone else.I own a joint venture condo with another military member in Atlanta.

Some of my goals: I would like to buy and hold with the focus on getting as much cash flow as possibleThe Seattle market is a little expensive so I am willing to venture off into other areas! 

I don't want to do the leg-work flipping houses any longer, but I enjoy being in the game.I would like to setup a system where I would Joint Venture with an active flipper for a few projects each year.

Fortunately, one of my partners in that venture is a lawyer and she helped figure out the legal ramifications. 

I would venture to bet that the HOA only meddles in peoples intimate affairs when the HOA decides they do not like the owner - that is when they pull out the rule book and start to play 'gotcha'. 

Many REI groups will not allow you to introduce yourself saying you are looking for partners or investors or Joint Ventures. 

Laurderdale areas therefore after much research, thought about starting our venture out there.At the same time I would much prefer to start in CA, and have an acquaintance that is heavily in the LA market. 

Now that we're here, I feel im at that paralysis stage in my venture.
