You will need to manage the investment either directly (i.e. manage yourself) or indirectly (i.e. manage your property manager).

@Sue Bishop  The first place most credible note buyers start is by verifying the broker contacting them with a note is either the owner of that note, or in direct control of selling that note.

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:*29 have been accused of spousal abuse *7 have been arrested for fraud *19 have been accused of writing bad checks *117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at leased 2 businesses *3 have done time for assault *71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit *14 have been arrested on drug-related charges *8 have been arrested for shoplifting *21 are currently defendants in lawsuits *84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last yearCan you guess which organization this is?

In this way, my partner and I will each receive 49% of the operating income through the pass-through entity (with income, capital gains, etc. individually being managed and optimized through individual tax planning) and the LLC will further offer us indirect control while still limiting our personal liability exposure as it's an LLC.  

Account Closed Congratulations on the change in direction.

If you are owner of multiple entities directly or indirectly (including the method that you suggest), employees of all entities have to be considered for the purposes of having a 401K plan.Bypassing employees through the creation of conduits is subject to penalties and fines.

It seems according to the RESPA rules we should be able to choose our own title company: "Section 9 of RESPA prohibits a seller from requiring the home buyer to use a particular title insurance company, either directly or indirectly, as a condition of sale."

It is not uncommon for a deal to have income potential in direct relation to it's risk.
