Uncle Paul strikes again.

It could make them look quite nice but I think the single pane will be a strike against me.

Many new investors read some books, listen to some pod casts perhaps attend some meetings and they immediately strike out to do their first deal.

I am working with my clients to get them in position to strike when a good buying opportunity presents itself. 

I met a new personal hard money lender, and I would like some ideas on how to strike a deal for flipping houses. 

Frankly, it strikes me as the most significant migration I've witnessed in my adult life, reminiscent of the Bay Area and even NYC in the the 2.5 decades prior (before I had an income to participate in them :) )In particular, I think that the migration of both business and culture will result in a very sticky mix that may even exceed projected population growth numbers, which are already on track to double over the next 20 years.CapitalOriginally, I was going to invest alone, but I've since joined forces with 2 friends.Together, we're prepared to deploy ~$300k and have discussed raising silent money if the deal(s) justify it.We would certainly prefer to see cashflow, but are fine breaking even for 1-2 years in exchange for what we expect to be obscene growth - 30-40% over the next few years by most accounts.

Thus this eviction will be the only strike against her.

I follow a rule of thumb to use an LLC for everything unless it is otherwise made impractical due to some outside influence.Quite frankly, the unincorporated sole proprietorship strikes me as unprofessional.

I would request a minimum of 10% down for good credit buyer/borrowers (case by case).DO NOT give away money on your free and clear property and strike now, while the iron is hot!   

We settled for a condo in Pasadena after striking out on the SFHs.
