last one I did in Lake Oswego cost me 65k to take everything to the dump and demo the little house.. over 250,000 lbs of crap.. or prized possessions which ever you  slant you take.this one had 18 dead casts in it.. 

Have your partner pay 50% of the additional cost you paid due to the rental or pay your partner 50% of the taxes saved based on the addition of the rental property, whichever is the result.It's not perfect but that's the easiest way to do a simple JV with an out of country investor.  

Maybe I purchase a SFR and rehab/rent it out to friends (while I live in it)... and after 12 months either completely rent it out or sell it (whichever way the math leads).. and use my VA loan again to relocate to another fixer-upper or SFR.

They don't all work out, but I find that more than enough of them do, to the extent that I'm going to have to start wholesaling some of mine out to other investors here.Best of luck to you, whichever path you choose.

If RESIDENT should move from the premises prior to the expiration of this time period, he shall be liable for all rent due until such time that the Residence is occupied by an OWNER approved paying RESIDENT and/or expiration of said time period, whichever is shorter.

You can serve that 7-day notice to evict (or whichever notice you use) every single month if you need to.

I am not in a postoin where I can get started with that many homes whichever is why I want to get started with a smaller amount.

It is my job to educate them on the market of both and then represent them on whichever way they want to proceed but I much rather represent them on something I know will make them money vs lose money.

Whichever bank will work with you and has the best terms I would do business with.  

This is not to denigrate Alan's course [it was an, interesting, read... ] but it was constructed pre-2008, before the SEC and many state regulators started becoming more viligant at monitoring the increasing number of real estate investors issuing securities [if you are raising capital from investors to invest in real estate....]Whichever course you elect to use, or not, or self-educate, seeking out an active attorney current on your state's and federal SEC law is ESSENTIAL, before you mail out any post cards inviting folks to luncheons or otherwise ADVERTISE for investors [as Alan's course advocated when I perused it].The red flag to state regulators is when ads appear, if the advertiser has not complied with the proper state registrations prior to soliciting investors through advertising, you've just created a HUGE target for yourself in most states.....On the other hand, a good attorney practicing in your state's PPM or private offering realm can protect you, and review your offering to investors....and save you some stiff penalties[you've probably heard of the one old school very successful investor, sort of the grand daddy in the private investors area, was actually shut down, for a comparatively MINOR failure to maintain proper paperwork, i.e. whether funds would be returned to investors after each project, or rolled over to the next project..., simple paperwork, had it been drafted correctly, and then proper records maintained]Best of luckBob
