I currently have 2 leased vehicles that are on my credit report showing over $50,000.00 owed on them even though it is a 2 year lease. 

Yes, I remember the comment and I think the VA is an excellent investment vehicle so take advantage!

I see real estate as a great vehicle to make this happen and I will stop at nothing to see it through.

If you're an officer in the corporation, the IRS will want to see you getting paid "Appropriate compensation" The biggest question mark is what the best vehicle for you to get paid is... 1099, W2, or other.

They are paying to "use" the house, much like a vehicle lease. 

Under the new administration I expect grampa Joe to be hellbent on killing real estate as an investment vehicle, but then die or forget what he was doing. 

Credit should be a conveyance not a method to afford what you can not afford.Since used vehicles are difficult to finance you should also pay cash for it as well.

ETF's are much better vehicles than Mutual Funds because you can Option them and go Long and Short.

@Patrick Flanagan I am just a little south of you in Eugene, and have been investing in rental homes and other passive RE vehicles out of state since 2012.  

Here's the big question:  What legal vehicles exist so that these investors can partner together on a new development while those that want to hold onto and manage the properties can seperate easily from those that want a return on the development?
