Maintain this as a good financial control from day 1 and it will become a lot easier as your empire expands.I don't think it would be appropriate to book anything in an equity account.

I have a few great title companies too that really focus on investors (not just 'investor friendly') They will do double closes, assignments, close in land trusts, split HUDs etc. 

Ive always dabbled in land acquisition here and there.

A syndicator doing a great job earning profits for his limited partners, today, may easily take on too many projects and his (or her) empire comes crashing down like a set of dominos and that is why "The Devil Is In The Details".Pay the $129 for Michael Blank's syndicating spreadsheet and he has some decent videos about syndicating.

We are not married yet, so I'm at least free to build my empire solo, but I also try to avoid the negative aspects and show more positives. 

I am looking to start out in land, my strategy will be to direct mail to owners behind on there taxes and purchase their land for cheap.

While you're over dealing with the chaos of tenants and labor (totally get it), the fact remains that you built an empire that has significant value. 

I invest in land and have no intentions of switching to houses, so we're not competitors.  

Then, I looked at the place on the map and it's inland in the middle of nowhere.

Does anyone out there know of any good Real Estate Groups in the Inland Empire California or Riverside county.
