Real estate is awesome because creating good housing is a worthy pursuit; not only can you make money at it, but you can provide comfortable housing in good repair that serves your tenants well and bolsters the neighborhood and community.

@Andrew Pandolfino,You'll need to take a few more steps to protect the LLC and any assets it may eventually hold.The LLC needs to be multi-member to bolster it's ability to protect.

(Sounds eerily like those MLM pitches)More family and friend relationships have been bolstered or ruined over this very issue.You've probably heard the old saying, never lend friends and family money if you want them to remain friends and family.The truth is raising private capital, whether from family or standard private lender is very personal transaction and should be treated with respect and honor.Think of it this way, if you borrow money from a bank and don't pay it back, do they take it personally?  

Without even having all the details, I think I'd advise against investing until you bolster your financial situation.

Looks like my accountant was accurate which really helps bolster my trust in him.

In addition, I will be bolstering my municipal bond holdings in my taxable brokerage account every month, in order to get back to my target asset allocation.So, start there.

That's a huge investment of time and money and heartache to fail, when they could have succeeded.I often advice client to NOT purchase certain properties, as I treat every purchase as though it will be their flagship property, to bolster and support their portfolio.

Investments in mixed-use development, office buildings, and residential areas have attracted more residents and businesses, positively impacting the real estate market.Strategic Location and Infrastructure:The strategic location of the Lehigh Valley, bolstered by infrastructure like the Lehigh Valley International Airport, makes it a hub for transportation and logistics.

However, I can say that housing prices are bolstered by actions of the Fed. $2.3T of notes/MBS are on their books.

i am in the advanced training now. and it cost a pretty penny, which i must say i do regret in some ways. i decided to take the "package" that has 3 courses and opted for doing 2 courses online so far (they include the ability to attend the same courses in person too if you want w/in a 2 year period). they use adobe connect for their e-learning and i feel that the combination of quality of teacher, teaching materials, and use of technology are important in the outcome of the class. well one instructor is fabulous at teaching and uses the technology well, the class materials aren't so bad either (provided by the company so the teacher has no choice). the other instructor, however, is AWFUL. i can't say i learned anything that even the BACK blurb of a book could teach you. he was repetitive, offered little useful information, and seemed to permanently be off-topic. the advanced training in my opinion is at least 3x more in price than can be justified, and even when learning useful information with a great teacher, i wouldn't say it's all you need to be on your way to becoming an investor. it definitely sets you up but it sets you up to be a newbie - i can't tell you how many people posted on the tigrent discussion boards (formerly WIA) with their new websites and business card designs after the first couple classes (doing so was our "homework"). it was like a flood of "i buy houses" .coms, which is a great effort, but to me also an unfortunate aftermath of misguided investors-in-training. all in all of the 2 classes i took so far, it was a 50% disappointment (because of the instructor) and definitely way more expensive than its worth. i plan on attending the 3rd class because i paid for it, and i also eventually plan on attending the 2 e-courses in person in the future, but there is no doubt that i will be reading, researching, and investing in more affordable education to bolster my knowledge (books, tapes, etc) beyond what this training has given me.in fact, i am currently looking into al aiello's goldmine tax program and trying to find out if that is really worth the money -- i would be grateful if anyone had any info to offer. also, i am happy to answer questions about my RDPD experiences and thoughts. i tried hard to find useful reviews and accounts of others' experiences before opting in for the training, but didn't find the type of info i was looking for, so i hope to offer a useful personal account to anyone who is considering it themselves.
