Thank you everyone  for engaging on my posts as I ramp up towards my first deal!

can keep them engaged.

I strongly suggest engaging the services of a consultant or advisor to assist you with this matter.

He engaged in about 70 land development and business partnerships in which he was the operating partner.  

If by real estate business you’re implying you have little or no money to invest but are contemplating using one of the guru inspired methods (subject to, “wholesaling” , fix n flip) to create cash flow, I’d encourage you to do research on the true success/failure rate of people who engage in these endeavors, the amount of money the successful operators spend monthly on marketing, and the real time commitment and knowledge and experience necessary for success.  

I'll say, it's a good sign that the founder/owner is willing to engage questions.

If you engage in a real estate investment program as a means to build wealth, you are going to incur a significant amount of debt early on and likely for the next 30 years, as your holding grow.  

They may even engage in intense, detailed negotiations.
