I am on a real estate journey to grow and obtain a potent Real Estate Portfolio.

Quote from @Michael Ewers: Hey y'all, Wondering what is the best marketing strategy for obtaining off market leads?

Hi Ricky,Being in operation for 10 years with mid seven figures of assets and NNN leases,it would be wise to speak with your tax advisor regarding if the tax set up should be an LLC, an S-Corp  or a C-Corp.It would also be wise to speak with an asset protection attorney to find out if this is something that might be beneficial to you in that area.

At one point I was told I could obtain funding (non-conforming was the term that was used) with 12 months of bank statements.My question is what would make me more appealing to a lender; should I continue with 1099 work or go to W2??

Did you lie to the mortgage co and produce a “bogus” lease in order to obtain financing?  

I am looking to connect with the investors there as the promotors are continuing to take Asset Management fees to the tune of $450K a year (on top of PM fees) even when their payout to the investors is around $20K a quarter (not meeting preferred) and the overall fund is negative about $450K.

The single biggest issue in my way currently is obtaining enough cash, whether it be my own, or through partnerships or family/friend-based lending (which I am very hesitant about to begin with as this could potentially strain relationships unnecessarily when money is involved).

So far, I have been fueled by passion and determination but I do not have any mentors and have not had a lot of guidance at all as I have obtained these properties.

I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection.
