REIA of Oakland (look for @Drew Sygit ) meets the second Thursday of each month in Madison Heights.

@Drew CameronYes, I agree that would be the best option to give me somewhere to live and an investment property that will make me money.

@Drew Goellner hehe and so true.

Depending on where that money is coming from  that may be an issue.Talks to Drew at Dulaney title, Holly at Clearview Settlement Solutions, John Mitnick at Mitnick and Mitnick, or Anthony Onwuanibe at Golden Trust Title.

For now my partner and I are going to be in a general partnership with a high umbrella policy and eventually transferring into a llc transferProblem is I don't want to trigger due on sale clause if bank finds out about me transferring my mortgage into a llc.There has been many heated debates on banks triggering due on sale clause and transferring properties into llc after closing.What would be your suggestion to make the partnership less complicated @Drew Shirley?

@Chad Gross Be in touch with @Drew Fein.
