Ask them what they read and who's techniques they studied.There will become a time when you become frustrated with your own progress and ask yourself: "Is this hurdle because of lack of knowledge, lack of planning or insufficient action?"

Being that you probably have a significant basis in the trust you could make a distribution that would only lower your basis and not be taxable.

I'm guessing this is some sort of quick and dirty estimating technique that could be performed on a pocket calculator.

I ask that last one because once I switch over to a fund like this, the money I am currently pulling out of each deal to live on, would need to stay in the fund and I'm left with no income until the end of the year if that's when the fund distributes profits.So, now I'm going to sit down and speak with my attorney about those questions and how to setup the fund to be as attractive to investors as possible but I'd love to get some real world experience in on this convo.

If it is to hold property long-term for cash flow, then it is a mistake to assume that you’ve got to jump through hoops with all those other techniques just to get the down-payment money.

Therefore, I am not saying any other approach is right or wrong; it’s just one of the many techniques I use to buy notes with a pension fund for tax-free growth and with draw.

When it comes down to it, owning a number of SFRs is really like MFR, and should be managed with similar techniques.

I've acquired many estate properties via assignment and acted as PR then distributed assets (real estate to m, Purchase Money Note + other consideration to assignors) but then I get stuck with any fiduciary baggage that crops up.On the other hand, it may be necessary to obtain a court order confining the sale.

I'm hoping to learn more about my options, new techniques, laws, and local market conditions in these turbulent economic times and hopefully connect with a few local investors.

Otherwise you could switch your technique to finding fools.
