Decide if a direct sale, land joint venture, partial sale of phases or product type (i.e sell commercial and build apartments) or a development scenario makes the most financial sense.

I would certainly not rely on venture capitalists to start a business again.

Starting out on a new venture in Nevada, any advice on good sources of Seed Capital that may be exclusive to Nevada?

Is there a special type of account or fund I can deposit this into to avoid paying taxes on money that I plan on using completely for a real estate venture?

Went into a joint venture with lots of excitement and trust, but no understanding of the rehab process. 

I am considering using one to serve as a pass through account for various small business ventures.

Here is to wishing you nothing but GR8 success in your 2017  (and beyond) REI ventures! 

The rest of numbers are based on that - daily cost, target audience, budget for cleaning, budget for furniture, etc.This is a new venture for me.

That sounds strange, but you have nothing holding you back from venturing out of your security...because you have lost that security blanket that was your job.I would venture to say, that most of the success stories in history, started out where you are right now...me included.So, with nothing holding you back, and with plenty of time on your hands (time will always be your greatest asset...since you can never get it back), if you want to get into REI, you need to do the following:1 - Learn,2 - Learn some more,3 - Keep learning.Places to learn (before you say "that costs money"), that don't cost any money are:1 - Online education sites that have free articles written by experts in their fields.2 - Free e-books, that you can get online.3 - Joining your local REIC's to both learn and network.4 - ...and never stop learning...even when you become a success at this (and you will)Also, three very critical actions you MUST follow to be a success:1 - Always think possitive.2 - Train yourself to think of future "obstacles" as temporary problems...and you are the problem solver. 

Without you, NO WAY, I would have the courage to venture into real state investing.
