I look forward to learning much more, and hopefully I may contribute as much as I gain in the future.

Looking forward to learning, contributing and building my network on this site.

Crunch your numbers to make sure that the income you anticipate, the carryiing costs of the property and your monthly contribution work out for you.

And you are locked in with the extra annual payment even in times when your cash flow is suffering, such as during a prolonged vacancy or eviction.If you want to get faster pay down, just make an annual contribution to additional principal equal to one month's payment.

Hopefully I may be able to contribute to this community when it comes to REO acquisition, negotiations, etc.

I've been interested in business since I was 11 and last year took interest in real estate investing.I live in the southern part of New Hampshire in a small town that no one knows exists.I'm looking to learn a thing or two from all of the great people on this site, and eventually, hope to contribute once I've taken a few steps on my journey!

(technically, they get an 8% preferred return and I get a 6% developer fee if all goes to plan, then we split any upside after that).In your situation, if you and your two buddies all put in cash, and all have some sort of management/decision making roles, you could divide the ownership and upside according to your capital contributions.

I have 'partnered' with some friends in the past, but their only contribution were loans, they had no interest in the real estate.I currently own three buildings (five total units).

If not, are you maxing out the matched contributions on any 401k you or your spouse have at work?

Really looking forward gaining some experience, and being able to contribute back into this community!
