I've looked at several ways to incorporate deals but the majority of sellers want a loan from the bank.

Usually, REO offers get pretty quick responses.Along with the BP forums and podcasts, I would also recommend joining he local REIA such at DIG (www.digonline.com).Steve Babiak co-chairs the Montgomery and Chester county sub-group which meets in Collegeville every month.

I have been involved in corporate finance, litigation and real estate for over 15 years.

Hi @Ashish Khera, first you'll have to check the Bylaws of your c-corp and your articles of incorporation.

I'm wondering if any of you have incorporated climate change considerations (drought, sea levels, wildfires, ...) into your investment location decisions.

@Stephen SawrieYes as self-directed IRA or a solo 401k can incorporate non-recourse loan financing.

Since I don't have a lot of money now, I am trying to jumpstart things by wholesaling until I get the money to incorporate flips and then use both to finance my rentals.

Xavier Wharton , plenty of non-real estate books on the topic and lots of research from Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, etc.However, the content is geared towards managing larger organizations/corporations and I used to read them when I had oversight of 600 people in corporate America.

We have been incorporating Passivhaus/EnerPHit ideas and practices into our retrofits as our knowledge increases; materials and equipment becomes available (cost effectively) here in North America; and the mindset, knowledge and skills of our trades improve with respect to energy efficiency.If the cost is equal or less than renovating a house to current code standards, then it would follow that renting that house would provide a better return on investment.

It is more important that you are a resident or have local counsel in the state that the LLC is incorporated in.
