You want to avoid turnover as much as you can in this business, it's not cheep!

Not sure if you have any 'boots on the ground', but for Harrisburg market you better either know it yourself or have some boots on the ground that do because it can be very block by block and you can easily get burned if you're familiar with the city or the Harrisburg MSA (like you can in any area, but Harrisburg in particular).

We are trying to buy as much as we can in certain areas as we are in the " know" as to what is going on.

But if you do that the right way then there is a big fat paper trail to the mortgage fraud.  

Such a plan is purely about: "I can get better ROI for my IRA investing at arm's length in real estate than I can in the stock market".The ROBS plan is not suited for passive holdings for several reasons having do with both with compliance needs of the structure, and that it would the entirely wrong vehicle for such endeavors from a tax perspective. 

Now our goal is to refinance those properties before the end of the year so my banker can get a big fat bonus and I can get out of high interest.   

However, the rule is actually that you must correct the calculations in the year the error was discovered.So advocating a willful blindness to the depreciation during ownership is one of the best ways for your client to end up with "willful disregard" penalties as well as a fat preparer penalty.Run from this person. 

No fat cat in CA with a credit card can out compete you standing on the door stoop of a seller!!

We’d be more than happy to meet as many new faces as we can in those 3 days.

appetite for riskYou can absolutely get a job in RE but keep in mind that it is a cyclic industry where you have to be entrepreneurial to survive downturns, especially times like now when a lot of RE firms are 'trimming the fat' (true in general but even more so in RE)If you're dead set on a W-2 in RE with a good (it's relative, compared to tech, W-2's in RE aren't nearly as exciting) salary and stable, try looking at working for a developer maybe as an analyst.
