I am looking for Miami real estate investors with me to partner in either a debt or equity structured arrangement that will be beneficial to both parties.Time to get hip to self-directed retirement accounts and doing deals using private lenders.Given what's going on in the world right now, folks will be looking to shield their IRAs and 401(k)s from the foibles of the Wall Street Casino.

I'm looking to make my first purchase of a B&H SFR and I was browsing around Zillow in the neighborhood I used to live in.

My name is Lenny and I currently live in Long Island but spend the majority of my time in NYC due to work.For years I have always been interested in becoming a Real Estate Investor, but have either let negative people talk me out of it, or let small things or my lack of knowledge hold me back from moving ahead.I came across this site by randomly typing in 'Real Estate forums' into Google, in hopes that in this day and age there is a forum for everything, and sure enough I was right.After browsing the site for a few minutes, I thought for sure it would prevent me from accessing any extra material due to my past experiences in regards to Real Estate knowledge.

I've been browsing through some discussions, and there really is a wealth of information here.

I listen to podcasts to and from work and browse around the forums after the kiddos go to sleep.My ultimate goal is to get into developing properties or spec homes, while maintaining rental properties that cashflow.

That's what people much smarter than anyone here came up with and for a good reason.Having said that, just use whatever rule of thumb you like to browse through your opportunities.

The drone wakes up and ask the seller if he/she mind if someone browse around, the sellers says "OK go ahead", the drone is now controlled by a interested buyer, flying around, looking at the camera views.

I've been browsing listings yesterday and today and it seems like it may be difficult in my area to find a duplex that A) fits my budget, B) is large enough for my wife, daughter, dog, and me to live in, and C) is located in an area I feel comfortable putting my family.

If I'm correct there is a planned casino and Amazon warehouse in the works in your area.
